Yes, looks like you need to build scons first.

Basically that's why I said it is "often enough" just to do configure&make... often you also need to install some tools and libraries before you get to build the actual thing itself

Now most of the time it is pretty easy and you only need to build couple of things beforehand, but there have been cases for example when I need to first build a newer gcc and glibc, and that gets pretty hazy soon, of course you need to install those under home so not to mess up the system completely...
