Please try the patch below. I tested (compiles and perf script runs) with the combinations: 1) python -> python2.x, python-config -> python2.x-config python2 N/A, python2-config N/A 2) python -> python3.x, python-config -> python3.x-config python2 -> python2.x, python2-config -> python2.x-config 3) python -> python2.x, python-config -> python2.x-config python2 -> python2.x, python2-config -> python2.x-config 4) python -> python2.x, python-config -> python2.x-config python2 -> python2.x, python2-config N/A Based on / replaces the patch 2/2 by Namhyung Kim.
