I must have misunderstood the BBv2 installation instructions then when I read

When bjam is invoked, it always needs to be able to find the Boost.Build root directory, where the interpreted source code of Boost.Build is located. There are two ways to tell bjam about the root directory:

* Set the environment variable BOOST_BUILD_PATH to the absolute path of the Boost.Build root directory.

(The second way is using boost-build.jam as you wrote)

Or else, maybe I'm wrong. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
