When running the bjam command I always come up with the following error. I know I'm missing something like setting the env variables but not sure what should be the accurate value for those env variables. Your help would be highly appreciated.

Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attempted search from /tmp/libtorrent/libtorrent-rasterbar-1.1.4 up to the root
at /usr/share/boost-build
and in these directories from BOOST_BUILD_PATH and BOOST_ROOT: /tmp/libtorrent/libtorrent-rasterbar-1.1.4/build-aux/.
Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

In case of Arch Linux you can install the AUR boost-build package.

One way to allow b2 to find boost-build.jam is to define the environement variable BOOST_BUILD_PATH to point to the directory that contains it (where you did install or build b2).

There are other ways. More information in the documentation.
