Thank you for your replies.
Yes, as you mentioned, I am using the old build system not the new 
Scons one.
now, is there any document or example which shows how to use Scons as a 
build system for Fenics. Because I installed Fenics based on what has 
been mentioned in Download page of www.fenics.org using apt-get and 
also installed all the dependencies mentioned in Dolfin user manual but 
I could not find anything related to Scons in documentation. 

I hope as Anders said this new release will solve the problem.
