Hello Ellen, I had exactly this problem today, and as a newcomer found it all extremely frustrating, but I manged to figure it out at last (you got way further than me by the beginning, BTW): add "use_sharedlib=yes" to scons And just in case you installed to /usr/local, remember to update /etc/ld.so.conf and use ldconfig Cheers, Eneko P.S: Hope I posted to the list now.
