Boost.python error in hello world example

Question

I keep getting the error when I try to compile the hello world example with bjam. Everything in Jamroot file ran ok, except the last line (when I commented this line, no error happens):

run-test hello : hello_ext hello.py ;

The error is:

capture-output bin/hello.test/gcc-4.5.2/debug/hello

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/hoangtu/Programs/boost_1_46_1/bin.v2/libs/python/build/gcc-4.5.2/debug:/home/hoangtu/Programs/boost_1_46_1/libs/python/example/tutorial/bin/gcc-4.5.2/debug:/usr/bin:/usr/lib:/usr/lib32:/usr/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I had encountered similar problem during building adobe asl library. The problem was the version of installed from ubuntu repositories bjam (3.1.16). After installing latest bjam from sourceforge (3.1.18), everything worked as it should.

PS. OS is Ubuntu 11.04
