Scons script error? ubuntu 7.10

[alex25]

That is indeed strange that it took so long to give you a permission denied error.

debian's scons (and i guess ubuntu is using the same one) is totally screwed up. it uses an incredible amount of memory when trying to install, and if you don't have gigs of memory it then swaps like crazy further slowing down the installation process. i've had it run out of memory completely on my laptop and then the kernel started killing things (unfortunately not the scons install process itself). i installed the original scons from http://scons.org/ and it works much, much better.
