Thank you Jonathan and Magnus. I did not think it could be as simple as creating a symlink. I was somehow expecting that the python2 libraries wouldn't be found with a symlink, but they are, and I can run the tests now. I just need it to run the tests locally and create the documentation, i.e. at compile time, so the symlink is a good solution. I will maybe go for the more automatic/stable renaming for the long run, it is a nice thing to know. I'll see what I find most convenient depending on my workflow. Anyway, both versions are simple enough to put in a simple script. Thanks again! Adrien On 05/01/2012 10:18 PM, Magnus Therning wrote:

Hello,
This week end I built GHC from the source, and everything ran smoothly.
However, I cannot figure out how to set python2 as the python executable to build the documentation or to run the testsuite.
How do you proceed ?
In the GHC package in ArchHaskell we simply patch up the source:
check() { cd ghc-${pkgver}
# python2 rename sed -e 's/PYTHON = python/&2/' -i testsuite/mk/boilerplate.mk sed -e 's_#!/usr/bin/env python_&2_' -i testsuite/timeout/calibrate testsuite/timeout/timeout.py
make THREADS=9 test }
/M
