Boost Install

[Hoop]

Hi All,
I am wondering if any have done an install of Boost for Python
embedding?
I have downoaded boost_1_33_1.exe, ran that and now have a boost_1_33_1
directory with plenty of items ine it.
I have attempted to follow some online install directions which do not
seem to work. I am using VS2005.
I have tried, bjam "--with-python-version[=2.4] and just get a
statement saying that bjam is not recognized. Really is no batch file
or executable with that name in the boost directory.
Not sure what to do to get the Boost.Python installed.
Thanks for any help.
Jeff

VS2003 is more likely to work since that was the compiler used for
the python executables distributed by python.org.

IIRC it was an extra step although I remember getting quite confused
installing Boost.Python.
