    initial v1  
    1 Ah, didn't see that. Then no, it wasn't installed properly. However, installoptionalpackage is a basically just a shell script hack that can only handle a subset of the full list of build-time optional packages, i.e. the ones that just unzip a file. More complex ones that use other jam directives can't be handled by it, such as this one and the Development packages. That's not realistically something that will be fixed since it will be superseded by the actual package management anyways.
