The issue was that the headers under boost/ were now *copies* of the last release and no longer pointers to the new "develop" code. Interestingly some of the hard links were updated when I ran bjam, but apparently not all :-(
Running bjam -a fixes the issue, but it's a very easy trap for the unwary.... John.
And another thing....
Ran "bjam -a headers" from the root directory to force the headers to be rebuilt, and the tests now build and pass OK... except that's a mistake because I see that old test results that depend on those headers were *not* rebuilt. So you need to bjam -a from the libs/mylib/test directory as well whenever you change branches :-(
The reason that this is failing is probably that the timestamps on some of the headers that you copied in were older than the timestamps on the original. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
