Configuration of the recently released 2.1.beta on my Archlinux system
gives python-related errors (see below).
It looks like a python2 /python3 issue. On Archlinux, python defaults to
python3, while the executable for python 2.7 is /usr/bin/python2
Interestingly, configure itself ends successfully. My first attempt at
compiling (i.e. make) failed immediately with a different python-related
error. I tried again (without reconfiguring) and it worked.
However, I do get the same error in the console when starting lyx. Lyx
starts anyways, so I am not sure how serious this problem is.
Cheers,
Stefano
