The first time you build, scons will print a message telling you that it can't find the variables file, but it automatically creates one based on appropriate defaults and any overrides you've put on the command line. For example:
Variables file /home/stever/hg/m5sim.org/gem5/build/variables/X86 not found, using defaults in /home/stever/hg/m5sim.org/gem5/build_opts/X86 That's just an informational message though, not an error. If it were actually an error, it would say something like "error" or "fatal" and stop. I don't know if this is the message you're referring to, since you never responded to Ali's request to give us the exact output, but based on your email I'm guessing that this is what you're talking about.
