The issue is that we haven't updated the build / install instructions
to reflect the SCons build. Unfortunately, you have been running into
problems because of that oversight.  What you need to do is a second
scons invocation telling it to perform the install.

For example, if you build with:

   scons CC=arm-linux-gcc CXX=arm-linux-g++ prefix=/opt/xorp

You need to install with:

   scons CC=arm-linux-gcc CXX=arm-linux-g++ prefix=/opt/xorp install

Actually, in many cases, you can skip the separate build step and just
do a "scons ... install".

Again I'm sorry you've had to run into these problems.  At least there
is some good that will come out of this.  We'll be able to fix up the
instructions before the next release candidate.
