Re: [gentoo-user] meson build woes

[Hogren]

Hi,

In your logs, I saw that python 3.7 is executed.

And you wrote that python 3.6 is selected.

I had many problem with the python transition too. I have no simple 
solution. I uninstalled many things for reinstall after.

Maybe try to :

- Unmerge all python and python-setuptools versions

- Verify your package.use files. Run "grep -Ri 'python' 
/etc/portage/package.use/" and delete old files.

- Run a "emerge --newuse --update --autounmask-write --deep 
--with-bdeps=y @world".
