 I'm using scons with the nxos project --
 git://github.com/danderson/nxos.git

 I'm not familiar with scons, just that I have two build environments, one
 on Leopard (Python 2.5.x) and the other on Snow Leopard (Python 2.6.x). On
 Leopard (python 2.5.4) it runs fine, scons would setup and execute the
 script to completion (via a hack to include /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-
 packages in the search path). On Snow Leopard (python 2.6.3), it complains
 about being unable to find PIL when executed using scons but works fine
 when executed from the command line. The only difference I see is that
 under python 2.5.x there are hardlinks to /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-
 packages/PIL/* whereas in 2.6.x, /opt/local/lib/python2.6/ does not
 contain anything (or mostly empty, anyway).

 (The generate_fonts.py script searches for PIL in /opt/local/lib/python2.5
 /site-packages/ as a workaround for scons on MacOSX -- I'm not keen on
 hacking that further since it's not maintainable, including
 /opt/local/Library/... is too Mac centric and prone to error due to the
 lengthy path)

 I've attached the relevant scripts if it makes any difference.
 Here is the console output (on Snow Leopard):
