Agggh, yes. This is due to the fact that we updated the jam executable on the website after FAIL_EXPECTED was removed in the CVS... So the executable you have is compatible with the current CVS state but not with the 1.27.0 release. We'll have that fixed in a week at most.

In the meantime you can do one of the following:

1. Use the current CVS state of boost (recommended, though you might need step 2 as well) 2. Rebuild your jam from the sources in $(BOOST_ROOT)/tools/build/jam_src by invoking make there.

Sorry for the rough start, Dave

I was able to rebuild jam from the source and then able to successfully build the Boost libraries. Thanks for the help. Jamie
