1. I upated to r39890, and now configure finds the correct python2 executable:
checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.4.0... python2
checking for python2... /usr/bin/python2
checking for python2 version... 2.7
checking for python2 platform... linux2
checking for python2 script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.7/site-packages
checking for python2 extension module directory...
${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.7/site-packages
However, compilation still fails:
[stefano@polus lyx-devel]$ make
<<<<snip>>>>
Making all in po
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/stefano/builds/lyx-2-svn/lyx-devel/po'
make lyx-2-svn.pot-update
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/stefano/builds/lyx-2-svn/lyx-devel/po'
sed -e '/^#/d' remove-potcdate.sin > t-remove-potcdate.sed
mv t-remove-potcdate.sed remove-potcdate.sed
LC_ALL=C ; export LC_ALL ; \
python ./lyx_pot.py -b .. -o qt4_l10n.pot -t qt4 ../src/frontends/qt4/ui/*.ui
File "./lyx_pot.py", line 29
print "Path %s is not under top source directory" % path
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
2. I tried Richard's trick and it fails as well on the same line,
which is strange, since my new user python2 picks up the correct
version (2.7) whenever python is called. So perhaps I am fighting two
different beasts. I tried issuing the python command from the command
line with the verbose switch and I append the output below. I am way
out of my depth and have no idea whether it'd be useful.
Cheers,
Stefano
