Hi, For those who still experience this error, here is a suggestion for a workaround assuming that the error appears during the installation phase, that is, when running `scons install':
The error is probably caused by the fact that scons tries to install into a folder that requires root/sudo privileges, like the default installation path, which is /usr/local. Instead, installing into a folder in the users home folder should work. This is probably why running scons.local is successful as Evan Lezar reports in this post: http://www.fenics.org/pipermail/dolfin-dev/2008-September/009537.html If it is necessary to install into a path that requires root privileges, one can simply install into a local folder first and then copy the files afterwards.
