Rene seems to have covered most of important stuff already. As the Bayes++ 
author hopefully I can help also! I have CC'd my reply to the Bayes++ list.

Release versions of Bayes++ have Jamfiles for Boost Build version 1 and 
version 2. I assume you are using '2003.8-4' which is the latest stable 
release. It would be worth trying 'bjam --v2' to see if it works in your 
case.

I agree with this.

Bayes++ picks up it's settings from 'BOOST_ROOT' as described in "compiling 
the examples".

I double checked. Docs are up to date, they were updated only about a week ago 
to match the 2003.8-4 release.

Probably best to continue this discussion on the bayesclasses-general list or 
via personal mail.
