Generating Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam... Bootstrapping is done. To build, run: ./b2 To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'. Further information: - Command line help: ./b2 --help - Getting started guide: http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html - Boost.Build documentation: http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/index.html $ ./b2 Building the Boost C++ Libraries.

(Worked fine with boost-1.49.0.) Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with either AIX 6.1 nor the Boost building process to know what other information might be helpful for you, or how to get them, but am willing to be talked through additional debugging steps and providing relevant logs or whatnot." Bugs closed To Be Determined build Boost 1.50.0 Regression fixed aix
