[C++-sig] bgl Python on Mac OS X

I'm trying to build this. I've downloaded the boost libraries (version 
1.34) and run configure, make and sudo make install without errors. 

Then I've downloaded bgl-python (0.9) and, as instructed, found the 
bjam executable from the boost hierarchy, copied it somewhere 
convenient and run it in the bgl-python directory. That gave me this 
error: 

Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam" 
--------------------------------------------------------------- 
Attempted search from /Users/pzs/incoming/bgl-python-0.9 up to the 
root 
and in these directories from BOOST_BUILD_PATH and BOOST_ROOT: /usr/ 
share/boost-build. 
Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'. 

So I set $BOOST_ROOT to be the root of the boost 1.34 directory and 
tried bjam again. This time I get: 

error: Could not find parent for project at '.' 
error: Did not find Jamfile or project-root.jam in any parent 
directory. 

I've also tried the binary, but that doesn't work either, probably
because I'm running Python 2.5 and the binary is for 2.3. 

Any ideas? 

Peter
