Depending on your distribution, you may specify (or not) which Python version is to be used when invoking 'python', with: alternatives --config python If it does not work, you may trick the build system by creating a "python" link to the python2 binary and then changing the PATH so that your link is found first. E.g. from a terminal: mkdir -p ~/bin ln -s /usr/bin/python2 ~/bin/python export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" then from the same terminal, launch the build. When running any command, a script ran from that terminal will first look into the bin/ subdirectory of your home directory before looking in the rest of the $PATH directories, and "python" (linked to python2) will be found there... You may also make this a permanent feature for your login, by chanching ~/.bashrc and putting in it the same: export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" For a system-wide change, create the link in /usr/local/bin and change the system-wide default PATH (usually to be found in /etc/bashrc) to list /usr/local/bin as the first directory.
