Hi Raghav; thanks for that link. In there, he does not use bjam to build the python extension dll; he creates a Visual Studio project and does it there. Is that the recommended method now? I thought I saw somewhere it is recommended to use bjam and most newbie questions come from not doing that. 

In any case, I can use bjam to build and test the tutorial example when it's inside the boost tree, but not when I move it outside -- I feel like I must be missing something simple.
