Thanks Gene. I'd tried that, but then scons install was looking in the
/root directory for the SConstruct file, and it obviously wasn't there.
Darned computers!
Nigel.
Well, I'm not on speaking terms with scons, but if you intended that file
to execute, you can either put it someplace in your $PATH, or cd to the
directory containing it and "sh ./Sconstruct". I suspect that is not the
problem, but its in that general category. Perhaps you need to set an
env variable or something similar?
