One side effect of using the debian or gentoo boost package is that it's
not laid out the same as the boost distribution.  There will be no
BOOST_ROOT laid out similarly to the way boost jam expects.

Do you have the boost sources or just the debian package?  Your chances
for success are greater if you download the boost distribution.

p.s. can somebody point me to a downloadable third-party extension that
uses bjam?
