I'm sorry to hear that you seem to have trouble getting SCons to work 
properly. Here are a few first suggestions to narrow down the problem a bit:

   1.) Does "scons -H" crash too?
   2.) What output do you get from "scons" when you call it in an empty 
folder (no SConstruct, no files, no anything)?
   3.) SCons has a "--debug=pdb" option which re-runs it in the 
debugger. You might get a backtrace there, and see in which
        module/method the segfault happens.

Best regards,

Dirk
