I tried this before, and the problem I ran into was that some older systems where python2 is the default do not provide python2-config as an alias for python-config. But indeed this problem should be solved. It is unfortunate that python-config does not provide a —version command, although it can possibly be parsed from the —libs file. I will mess around with it a little bit.

Hi,

on my personal machine, when starting mserver5, monetdb complains with the following message:

!SyntaxException:parseError: !LoaderException:loadLibrary:Loading error failed to open library pyapi (from within file '/linux/workspace/monetdb/build/lib/monetdb5/lib_pyapi.so'): /linux/workspace/monetdb/build/lib/monetdb5/lib_pyapi.so: undefined symbol: PyInt_Type !SyntaxException:parseError: !<identifier> expected

I guess this is another case of conflict Python 2 vs 3. I am using ArchLinux where the default is v3. In my case a workaround seems to be forcing back python2 (see patch).
