I was seeing something similar a while back.

My guess is that you are not using a system version of scons. I think  
scons might be ignoring the ambient environment (PATH,  
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc...) when it is run, instead setting up its own  
(presumably in the name of providing repeatable builds).

The consequence is that if scons is in a non-standard location, scons  
will not be in the PATH it sets up for its own subprocesses, and so  
forking scons from qserv-install from scons fails.

At that point I was totally fed up. IIRC, I ended up hacking the  
qserv-install Perl script to mention the absolute path to my scons  
executable, which worked.

Cheers,
Serge
