Hi Msieur Piero,

Do I have to uninstall mixxx 1.7.1 BEFORE using scons or do I have to scons on the existing install?
-> if you mean the ubuntu package, then yes. The one you compile will go by default under /usr/local/bin so this is not 100% mandatory but otherwise you might run the wrong binary.

- I have nothing under usr/local/bin/mixxx
-> you need root privileges to run the install command, so you must "su" first or run "sudo scons tuned=1 install"

- When I use scons into ./mixxx_170 It shows scons:....
-> I'm not too sure, but I would say you miss some build dependencies (like libqt4-dev)
Be sure to check the build instructions in the wiki: http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/compiling_on_linux

if everything goes fine, you will end up with the Mixxx binary under /usr/local/bin, and the rest under /usr/local/share/mixxx.
