The documentation should be pre-built. You can access it at libs/libraries.htm or libs/<library name>/index.html. Unfortunately, there's no way to install the documentation. It's set up to live in the source tree and moving would break a lot of links.
It should not be that impossible as several distributions, such as Debian, place the documentation in /usr/share/doc and the links all work. Besides, isn't the documentation generated by docbook or doxygen or some similar system? If it is, it should be simple enough to generate it for any desired target location.
Distributions like Debian's have been manually modified to suit the needs of the distributor. They might also have changed other aspects of the directory tree. Such adaptations are not provided by the Boost developers. Besides, not all documentation is generated with BoostBook. Also I think it shouldn't have to, because in some cases such documentation systems can be too rigid. -Julian
