As is often the case, the original poster figures out his own errors.
But for the benefit of others as clueless as I am:

I'm trying to set up BoostBook on cygwin,
but not succeeding. Here are some questions:

1) I tried using the cygwin versions of libxml2 and libxslt,
but abandoned them, when I found some discussion about this not
working and the need to use native versions. Is this true?


I haven't tried this yet, but am still curious. Using the cygwin version, which is automatically installed by cygwin setup, probably would have avoided the problems below.

2) If I'm using the native win32 versions, what do I do with
the binaries after I download them? Do I edit the user-config.jam
file to indicate where they are?

For the moment I've just put all the executables and DLL's
into C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin, which is in my PATH.

This seems to work fine, but I'm open to alternative ways of doing this.

Now for the explanation of why I got the error messages below.
The executables from libxml2 and libxslt did not have their executable
permission set. Once I set that properly ("chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/*.exe"), everything worked properly.



3) When I run "bjam --v2" in the boost/doc directory, I get the following error messages appended below. Please help me fix the problem.
