Hi Arthur! Thanks a lot for your offer to help! I'm preparing for my Ph.D. prelim, so it might be a few weeks until I get a chance to get back to my hobbies. OpenCascade installed without throwing any errors or warnings on both mac os x and debian.
cat /etc/debian_version returns 5.0.1 The SConstruct script seems rather confused: "Checking whether C++ compiler "gcc" works... no" gcc is not a C++ compiler; g++ is, and it is most certainly installed on my system. I looked through the SConstruct script, and it seems like there's an awful lot of very basic platform specific stuff coded in there; should some of that stuff be handled by scons? I worry that is a modern equivalent of a Makefile with a single target consisting of a huge shell script. Take everything I say with a grain of salt though; I'm still new do Debian, Python, and scons.
