I tried to follow the latest Getting Started instructions, which changed a bit from the last version I built (1.44.0) to build bjam:
cd tools/build/v2 bootstrap.sh bjam install --prefix=../../.. cd ../../.. bin/bjam --user-config=user-config.LINUX_AMDF7 threading=multi instruction-set=opteron address-model=64 variant=release link=static,shared --stagedir=stageF7 stage
If you add --debug-configuration to your bjam command-line, it should be revealing.
Running this command:
bin/bjam --user-config=user-config.LINUX_AMDF7 --debug-configuration threading=multi instruction-set=opteron address-model=64 variant=release link=static,shared --stagedir=stageF7 stage | & tee build.release.log
| grep python and rearranging a bit:

OK, so this is failing to find the python headers.

Does that path have a file called pyconfig.h in it? If not, you might need to add something to your user-config or site-config file that gives the correct #include path.

I've never really understood the logic behind Boost.Build's matching of alternatives. I think the messages above are probably innocuous, but they could be a problem (possibly related to https://trac.lvk.cs.msu.su/boost.build/wiki/AlternativeSelection). You should ask about that on the boost.build mailing list. HTH, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
