I downloaded boost_1_30_0.zip, unpacked the zip file, cd'ed into boost_1_30_0, and ran "bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc". Most of the library seemd to compile fine (Python was skipped since I didn't have it installed). Bjam failed to update 12 targets, skipped 12 targets (the same 12 that failed?), and updated 452 targets. The error messages at the end were: ...failed vc-Link libs\test\build\bin\boost_test_exec_monitor.dll\msvc\debug\run time-link-dynamic\threading-single\boost_test_exec_monitor.dll libs\test\build\b in\boost_test_exec_monitor.dll\msvc\debug\runtime-link-dynamic\threading-sin gle\ boost_test_exec_monitor.lib... ...skipped boost_test_exec_monitor.dll for lack of b oost_test_exec_monitor.lib...
