Yes.  It's odd buts that's because, following the #bbv2.installation

   ./b2 --install=PREFIX

where PREFIX was bin. Apparently --install creates another bin directory
below PREFIX.

Well, the output of the bash `which` command indicated I was, but
the output of `command -v b2` says it's the system installed one
in /usr/bin.

Sorry for not being careful enough :(

Thanks for your help.
