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.
