You do need to define BOOST_ROOT and BOOST_BUILD_PATH. BOOST_ROOT should point to the top of the boost directory tree. This is the directory that has boost and libs subdirectories. BOOST_BUILD_PATH should be "$BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/v1"

Don't forget to export your environment variable.

Or just:

cd /var/boost/boost_1_31_0 bjam -sTOOLS=gcc install
