A check of the scons changelog reveals that "env.Clone" is a new name
for "env.Copy", which still exists. This change happened in version
0.96.93 which means that only Ubuntu Feisty (very latest official
version from 3 months ago) will have it.
Changing env.Clone back to env.Copy in SConstruct allows scons to
proceed to the next error. I will describe that in my next message.

I have no plan to increase my system administration workload.

I can try this. I don't like installing random .debs but its a lot
better than installing random source packages.
Can't do this right now though as sourceforge is crapping out right
now for some strange reason. I'll try later.

You should understand that Scons is based on python. Its extremely quick to install, after the sources where downloaded (which takes me a while on dialup), scons was installed roughly 20 seconds later, with simply extract the tarball, cd into the directory, and python
setup.py install
