-mt.a is called a tagged name.
.a is called a system name
It's just an annoying file name difference. Moses changed from using
tagged to using system a few months ago so you must have the system format.

read the doc carefully. You must run this 1st

Sorry if I wasn't clear in my last email. I did run ./boostrap.sh first
before running ./b2.

And with regards to tagged vs system, the discussion you linked to seems to
imply that the system name is the default. But by running "brew install
boost", which seems to be the standard way to get boost on Macs, I get the
tagged file names, e.g., libboost_thread-mt.a, in my boost directories. So
how can the system be the default, but more importantly, how can I "have
the system format"? Running ./bjam with --layout=tagged or --layout=system
resulted in the same errors as in my first post.

Thanks,
Daniel
