So, Eliot’s response didn’t work for me. But Giacomo’s did which is to just 
delete the build folder and start afresh (a bit inconvenient if I only had 
incremental changes over my previous build).

Before I got the responses, I tried hardcoding the python version (received by 
doing python –version in my terminal) into the SConstruct file, and 
that….worked. I’m not sure if that is the right way to go about this though.

Hi,

I tried following previous archived threads which said the solution to this 
problem was to provide the path to  PYTHON_CONFIG and not using a conda 
environment.

I am not using a conda environment and am providing the path in the scons 
command:

scons ./build/ARM_MESI_Three_Level/gem5.opt PYTHON_CONFIG=/usr/bin/python-config
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Mkdir("/data/anurag/gem5-public/build/ARM_MESI_Three_Level/gem5.build")
Checking for linker -Wl,--as-needed support... (cached) yes
Checking for compiler -Wno-free-nonheap-object support... (cached) yes
Checking for compiler -gz support... (cached) yes
Checking for linker -gz support... (cached) yes
Info: Using Python config: python3-config
Checking for C header file Python.h... (cached) yes
Checking Python version... no
Error: Can't find a working Python installation



It seems like SCons is able to find the Python.h header file but it is not able 
to gather the python version of the interpreter for whatever reason (check 
CheckPythonLib). When I have these sporadic errors I usually remove the build 
folder and start a clean build. If the error is still present, you might want 
to debug CheckPythonLib with pdb.



If you don't want to do any debugging, you should consider using docker [1]

Hope it helps

I have been able to build gem5 on this very machine before, I’m not sure what 
changed between then and now. Can someone help me debug this?

Regards,
Anurag
