2.5  (not rc3 or any other). Refering to a recent in the archives, i
though it was the same as 2.5rc3, but perhaps on ubuntu the package is
patched (often the case on ubuntu) or [another thing i don't know]. I
don't know jam at all and i'm just discovering Haiku, so don't bother
with my messages, i'll do the spectator for now.

Only our jam version is supported to be run in subdirectories. 

ok. i did it only to try to narrow the problem. didn't know this fact.

 Other
versions must be run in the root directory. Actually other jam versions
aren't truly supported at all.


do you think there could be something wrong with the 2.5 version on
ubuntu ? (just wondering, but on some other packages it happened in the
past).

Yep, we fixed one or two bugs in the version in our repository that are not fixed in the jam available from Perforce (probably the one bundle with Linux distros). So, I'd recommend to use the one from our repository.

CU, Ingo
