boost 1.33.1 build error

[paulmelis]

When trying to build 1.33.1 with bjam 3.1.12 under
linux (debian, dual AMD opteron, 2.6.11 kernel) I get
the following error output (see attachment for full
output):

Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU
support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more
information
(and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably
don't need it).

I've tried the following build commands:
bjam
bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc"

the results are the same...

1.33.0 builds fine on the same system

I am getting exactly the same problem on RedHat ES4 (2.6.9
kernel) with boost 1.33.1, and boost 1.33.0 also builds fine
on this platform ...

OK, I painfully found the reason for my problem in the
mailing list :
http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/12/98015.php

Andrew Maclean had the same problem on Windows and his
solution worked for me on Linux. 

As he said :
"Maybe a note should be added to the user instructions for
building Boost ... along the line:
If you have any environment variables such as BOOST_INCLUDE,
BOOST_LIB,
BOOST_ROOT, BOOST_VERSION. Delete or rename them before
running bjam."

Eeeek, I had some of those env vars set because of a
previously installed version of boost. Removing them from
the environment indeed makes boost build!

Funny that 1.33.0 wasn't affected by this though...

Assign to Vladimir -- please reassign if there is a better
boost.build person to look at this.

This is fixed for Boost 1.34.0 since BBv2 doesn't use env vars, and guards against collisions when it the rare case it does.
