can't find config.h

[ghost]

After calling

sudo scons install

I get

RuntimeError: can't find config.h in either source or build directories:
  File "/home/user/projects/cpp/geode/SConstruct", line 832:

Hmm, that stacktrace is strange because config_header is a function that we define in SConstruct. The actual file is generated by the line header, = env.Textfile(name,lines) in SConstruct.config_header. Could you add some print statements before and after that line to try to localize who is throwing the error?

Did you build before trying to install? (i.g. scons -j 5). It looks like the install target might not be triggering a build. If so, manually running the build first could be a workaround.
