Hi David, The problem with the original suggestion of replacing the link to system python (python3) with a link to python2, is that it has consequences for everything else on your system that expects python to be a link to python3.
I have found that it is better to replace all mention of python in the source with python2, e.g.: find ${srcdir} -name "*" -type f -exec \ sed -i 's#\(/usr/bin/env \|/usr/bin/\)python[2-3]*#\1python2#' {} \; (I haven't tried the fenics-install.sh script yet, by the way.)
