The test scripts in src/test require python2.
Not sure if this is a build system problem, or a test script problem. Autoconf will pick python
, python2
, python3
in that order, so the scripts should be probably be written such that they run with either python2
or python3
, since systems where python
is python3
exist.
PYTHON=python2 ./configure
sidesteps the problem on systems where python
is python3
, but people shouldn't have to do that.
