[Scons-users] Trouble installing package on a supercomputer.

[Gary Oberbrunner]

Hi Ray; SCons itself shouldn't care about filesystems or licenses.  Most
probably whatever package you're trying to use SCons to build has set
things up in a way that isn't working at your site.

Your first error refers to a "site.settings" file; that's not part of
SCons.  It's probably part of the software you're trying to build.  Your
Environment() line looks fine to me.

Your second error, Error: A license for CCompL is not available
(-76,61026,2), is I think from the Intel compiler.  Probably again your
software has set itself up to build with the Intel compiler tool (which is
shipped with SCons); you may need to set an env var (os.environ, or
env['ENV']) to tell the compiler where your license is.  I think that env
var is documented in the Intel compiler installation docs.
