In the following, I compiled some useful information / links / problems that I encountered during my try to install the ScienceTools myself on a machine at CEA Saclay (i.e., external). No claim of completeness whatsoever, and a lot of these things might be obvious for most.
CVS : getting the latest ScienceTools
Look at the ScienceTools scripts online: CVS repository
...
Get the CVS status:
| Code Block |
|---|
cvs status |
...
SCons: Building the ScienceTools
SCons version SCons 1.3 required (SCons)
...
So do not change the code in the python package directly

Environment

You might consider changing the following environmental variables:
| Code Block |
|---|
PATH
ST_INST
INST_DIR
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
TCL_LIBRARY
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
PYTHONPATH
## e.g.
export PATH=$MY_ScienceTools:${PATH}:.
|
E.g., one could create a second bashrc script that sets the environment so that you can chose between the 'standard' installation and your own one.

Example output of building with SCons:
