Look's like the check to find Python is now failing for Python 3.8. The relevant part in configure.ac (line 676 to 688) is this: AC_ARG_ENABLE([python], [AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-python], [Enable building of Python bindings (default: auto)])], [want_python="$enableval"], [want_python=auto]) AS_IF([test "$want_python" != no], [ PKG_CHECK_MODULES([PYTHON], [$PYTHON_PC], [], [:]) AS_IF([test -n "$PYTHON_LIBS"], [ AC_PATH_PROG([SWIG_EXEC], [swig]) AM_PATH_PYTHON([2.5]) AS_IF([test -z "$SWIG_EXEC"], [AC_MSG_ERROR([swig is required for Python])]) AC_DEFINE([ENABLE_PYTHON], [1]) ], [test "$want_python" = yes], [ AC_MSG_ERROR([python requested but not satisfiable]) ]) ])
