Hi Yaoweiyu,
the guide you're following is outdated and need to be rewritten.

I supposed you downloaded yade from launchpad and you have actually your
yade/ folder saved somewhere in your pc.
Well know, open the terminal in yade/ folder and type:

scons -h

This will:
- verify that all the libraries you need to compile and use Yade are 
installed in your pc
- create a scons.profile-default and a scons.current-profile files.
- list all the possible options for the compilation that you can add to 
your scons file (read what follows..)

More precisely, in the scons.profile-default file you'll find few lines 
which will be the
instructions that the compiler will read.
Leave that file unchanged (it's a default file..) and create by yourself 
a new one called for example

scons.profile-yaoweiyu

and go to modify the scons.current-profile by adding this line:

profile='yaoweiyu'

This will tell the compiler to read your own compilation instructions.

I'll copy hereafter my scons file.

PREFIX = '/home/3S-LAB/ecatalano/Yade/'
exclude = 'lattice,snow'
features = 'cgal,log4cxx,opengl,openmp'
jobs = 3
linkStrategy = 'monolithic'
chunkSize = 10
version = 'lux'
CXXFLAGS = []
SHCCFLAGS = ['-fPIC']

For that problem I have no ideas. Try to do what I wrote before and tell 
us what's happen.
