Complete confustion about using Boost.Python

Hi,

	I've recently built Boost based on the instructions at 
http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html. It found my python installation 
OK and so as far as I know that means Boost.Python has been installed on my 
system.

	The issue I am having is that I can't seem to figure out how to build any 
modules that are not within the directory tree of the source I extracted from 
sourceforge. If I copy the exact tutorial out of libs/python/example/tutorial 
and try to build it elsewhere, it complains about not being able to find a 
project-root.jam file. Also, I have noticed that if I set the BOOST_ROOT path 
in say, for example, the Jamrules file in the that tutorial directory to 
where boost is now actually installed (/usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1), I 
can no longer build. What am I missing here? Right now it seems like I can 
only build projects in the directory tree of the source I extracted from the 
website.

Thanks,
Noah
