cannot build mongodb 1.7.0 from source

[MarkCallaghan]

I am unable to build 1.7.0 from source. My system is:
* CentOS 5.2
* uname -a -> Linux X.com 2.6.20-21_fbk41_r62192 #1 SMP Mon Feb 1
09:57:13 PST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
* gcc 4.1.2 (I think this is standard on centos5)
* 64-bit x86
* scons 0.98.1 installed via yum

"scons ." fails for me
>>>
scons .
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons version: 0.98.1

no

The output from config.log shows the problem. Many arguments on the
failing gcc command line have a space between each letter. This looks
like Python code that used ' '.join(x) for the string x when it was
expecting x to be a list. But I am not sure where this is going wrong
within scons.

You need a new version of scosn (scons 1.2) is best.
Will see if we can make scons detect this.
Should be able to upgrade via easy_install

That worked. I built js-1.7.0 from source and the build is in progress.
