[C++-sig] Problem with bjam quickstart

[Gabriel Joel Perez]

Hi! I'm getting problems with running the basic demo that is described in
the bjam quickstart guide
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/python/doc/building.html

I have the following bjam version: boost-jam-3.1.17-1-linuxx86/ and I'm
running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron  and I have libboost-python1.34.1

Whenever I run the following: bjam --verbose-test --debug-configuration test

I get the following error

notice: found boost-build.jam at
/usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/examples/libs/python/example/boost-build.jam
notice: loading Boost.Build from /usr/share/boost-build
notice: loading site-config.jam from /etc/site-config.jam
notice: loading user-config.jam from /usr/share/boost-build/user-config.jam
Error: Illegal attempt to re-bootstrap the build system by invoking

   'boost-build ../../../../tools/build/v2 ;'

Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

Thanks!
