This line should be
env['mode'] = 'debug' if env.get('debug') else 'release'

Because of the ancient Python version that is included in centos? I assume it's 2.4.

It'll probably work if you change the line to
if env.get('debug'):
   env['mode'] = 'debug'
else:
   env['mode'] = 'release'

Or just
env['mode'] = 'debug'
or 'release', depending which build you're making.

You've run just 'scons' before 'scons install'? If so it is possible that scons/our build script doesn't work with so old python.

Can you help with this problem?
