Compiling Boost regex library

I'm having some trouble getting Boost to compile with VC++ 6.0. I followed a tutorial but bjam constantly exits saying

MkDir1 bin
spawn: No such file or directory
If anyone could tell me how to correct this or even direct me to pre-built Boost libraries for Windows then I would be most grateful.

did you install the patch ?

boost-1.31.0-regex-patch-20040503.zip
Thanks, I just installed the patch which I'd forgotten about. But I still get just the same error.

Perhaps some more info would be useful. To start with, I was getting the error

MkDir1 boostspawn: No such file or directory


So I made the directory boost in C:\. Then I got the same error but with "lib" missing, so I made that dir inside C:\boost. Now I get the same error with "bin" missing, but I've tried making bin inside boost and boost\lib, but to no avail.

Any ideas?
This article helped me a lot when I was having the same problems.
