I imagine you missed the Boost-1.33.1-from-a-ZIP (or other) in BOOST_BUILD_PATH.
No I didn't. It's right there; it's pointing at my CVS version of Boost at "~/Documents/Programming/Boost/main-cvs/boost/". That the directory that includes "boost", "libs", "LICENSE_1_0.txt", and a "boost-build.jam". Following another response, I created a "~/boost-build.jam" file with: //======================================================================== boost-build ~/Documents/Programming/Boost/main-cvs/boost/tools/build/v2 ; //======================================================================== as its only line. Running "bjam" from my home directory (i.e. "~") gave me a different result: //======================================================================== Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find build system. --------------------------------------------------------- /Users/daryle/boost-build.jam attempted to load the build system by invoking 'boost-build ~/Documents/Programming/Boost/main-cvs/boost/tools/build/v2 ;' but we were unable to find "bootstrap.jam" in the specified directory or in BOOST_BUILD_PATH (searching /Users/daryle/~/Documents/Programming/Boost/main-cvs/boost/tools/build/v2, ~/Documents/Programming/Boost/main-cvs/boost/). Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'. //======================================================================== Wait a minute, I see a possibly inappropriate "~" still in the path.

Unfortunately, the result didn't change. Finally, I got rid of "~/boost-build.jam" (by renaming).
