INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
=========================
-Installing SCons from this package requires the Python distutils
-package. The distutils package was not shipped as a standard part of
-Python until Python version 1.6, so if your system is running Python
-1.5.2, you may not have distutils installed. If you are running
-Python version 1.6 or later, you should be fine.

-NOTE TO RED HAT USERS: Red Hat shipped Python 1.5.2 as the default all
-the way up to Red Hat Linux 7.3, so you probably do *not* have distutils
-installed, unless you have already done so manually or are running Red
-Hat 8.0 or later.
-
-In this case, your options are:
-
- -- (Recommended.) Install from a pre-packaged SCons package that
- does not require distutils:
-
- Red Hat Linux scons-1.3.0-1.noarch.rpm
-
- Debian GNU/Linux scons_1.3.0-1_all.deb
- (or use apt-get)
-
- Windows scons-1.3.0.win32.exe
-
- -- (Optional.) Download the latest distutils package from the
- following URL:
-
- http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/download.html
-
- Install the distutils according to the instructions on the page.
- You can then proceed to the next section to install SCons from
