Ah, yes, that's what I did.
It's only written wrong in my posting.

Why dows bjam references the non-debug version python23.lib when linking
boost_python.dll?

I use Boost.build v1 with a boost snapshot from July this year (which has a
small workaround to avoid a VC6 template error).

Thank you for your response
