I am updating an old linux (RHEL 2.6.9) scons (v0.96) to the current v2.3
Frankly scons has been working quite well - just trying to get rid of some scons warnings that have resulted from changes to my Scons files as I've upgraded other platforms to v2.3
First of all, the download scons-2.3.0-1.noarch.rpm
resulted in a "Package Not Found" (python) alert. Python is certainly present (albeit old as well - v2.3.4)
I then downloaded scons-2.3.0.zip
- and (as root) executed 'python setup.py install'. That proceeded to completion without any errors. Me thinks.
But, alas, in a Terminal window, I type:
$scons -v
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/scons", line 192, in ?
SCons.Script.main()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'main'
Duh. Certainly my old reliable scons is broken :(
Comments? Suggestions?

BTW, I am not a python expert at all; have been able to support this scons build simply by example and minimal changes - which is to the credit of this tool!
