ERROR: Python not found! (despite being installed) RHEL 8 #289

Closed Desvelad0 closed 3 years ago

Desvelad0 commented 3 years ago

I tried to set this up on RHEL 8 following the instructions, and when trying to do msctl create world 25565 I get an error:

which: no python in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin) ERROR: Python not found! Try installing this with: sudo apt-get install python

I currently have Python 3.6.8 installed:

[root@localhost mscs]# python3 Python 3.6.8 (default, Aug 18 2020, 08:33:21) [GCC 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>

I managed to fix all the other dependancy problems by manually installing each one with yum, but I'm not sure what to do with this issue. Any clue what I could do here?

The uses which python for the executable location. You can either add a symlink for python to the python3 executable or you can edit /usr/local/bin/msctl and edit the line PYTHON=$(which python) to PYTHON=$(which python3)

Maybe we should change the which python to which python3 in the script. All of the dependencies (rdiff_backup and Overviewer) that require python are now using Python3 anyway..

zanix commented 3 years ago

Maybe? I just checked on some of the systems I maintain and python is symlinked to python3.

I went ahead and made this change in commit 2cf086d0ae26694c298b598c72973e542059e0c3. The world has moved on to python3 for the most part, so I don't expect this to be an problem. Closing this issue as fixed.
