scons 2.0.0.final.0 is a check point release. It might be better to stick with scons 1. From RELEASE.txt: " A SCons "checkpoint release" is intended to provide early access to new features so they can be tested in the field before being released for adoption by other software distributions." . . . "We do not recommend that downstream distributions (Debian, Fedora, etc.) package a checkpoint release, mainly to avoid confusing the "public" release numbering with the long checkpoint release names." So updating scons to 1.3.0.d20100626 might be the best thing to do.
