That's a C++ library. I see a correlation here ;-)
How about editing your user-config.jam file? You can copy it from tools/build/v2/user-config.jam into your $HOME directory.
I guess I am missing the whole picture here... What are the pieces I need?
1) bjam -- I got it with Rene's install, and it's in my path. I assume nothing else need to be done about it...
I don't know enough about Rene's thing to tell you for sure, but if Rene installed a pre-built binary and hasn't recently updated his installer program and you are using Boost's CVS you probably need a more up-to-date version of bjam than the one he supplied you with, because the CVS version of Boost.Build is using some features that were recently added to bjam.
It's a build from yesterday's CVS state :-) I haven't updated it to contain the changes to bjam I've done today. I tried running "bjam --v2" in the docs directory and I don't get the above error. This is because I do set up all the tools possible, msvc, cw, python, xsltproc, boostbook, doxygen, and quickbook, with the attached user-config.jam. My guess is that since Arkadiy did not have a user-config.jam, and hence did not set up the boostbook tools, it defaulted to trying to build them. But since a C++ compiler was not available it fails even that. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org ECHO @@@ HOME/user-config.jam ; import msvc-config ; import cw-config ; import python-config ; import xsltproc-config ; import boostbook-config ; import doxygen-config ; import quickbook-config ;
