Exactly this. People build node.js on a variety of platforms. /usr/bin/python is sometimes a python 2.4 (or sometimes even 2.3 - old RHEL/CentOS systems), on others it's python 3 (Arch). Some of the BSDs don't have a /usr/bin/python at all, the binary is always called python2.6 or python2.7. On a side note, the suggestion to symlink is kind of blech. It also doesn't work unless you're root. -- v8-dev mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-dev
