This solution did not work for me. I reinstalled both SCons (current
version) and Python 2.7.5. I'm on Ubuntu. Here's the error log:

EnvironmentError: No tool named 'gettext': not a Zip file:
  File "/home/bratzbert/sources/vdrift/SConstruct", line 526:
    env = Environment( tools = ['default', 'gettext'] )
  File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Environment.py", line 999:
    apply_tools(self, tools, toolpath)
  File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Environment.py", line 105:
    env.Tool(tool)
  File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Environment.py", line 1782:
    tool = SCons.Tool.Tool(tool, toolpath, **kw)
  File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Tool/__init__.py", line 94:
    module = self._tool_module()
  File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Tool/__init__.py", line 154:
    raise SCons.Errors.EnvironmentError(m)


and the line that is causeing the problem:

env = Environment( tools = ['default', 'gettext'] )

And pointers will be appreciated, as I was unable to find a solution on the net.
