Points to consider:
Did you create the directory before attempting to install?
Are you running two invocations of scons -- once to build, once to install?
Are you passing the prefix argument to all invocations of scons?
Do you get any error(s) when you attempt to install?

If you re-target the prefix then the build may need to recompile some files.
You shouldn't need to install as root if your destination directory does 
not have root ownership.

The installation is known to work at least under FreeBSD 7.2, Ubuntu 
9.04 Desktop, and Fedora 11. I normally test under FreeBSD. I haven't 
tested on Linux for a few weeks.

Hope this helps.

thanks,
