I broke my PHP installation on MacOS Mojave, so I'm trying:
brew reinstall shivammathur/php/php@7.4
This goes well until reaching re2c:
==> Installing shivammathur/php/php@7.4 dependency: re2c
which fails with:
checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 3.7... none
configure: error: no suitable Python interpreter found
This is very odd, because python is installed and has multiple versions that should pass:
~$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
~$ python --version
Python 3.11.4
~$ python3 --version
Python 3.11.4
~$ python3.9 --version
Python 3.9.17
Digging through the config.log of re2c, I find a lot of failed checks:
...

./configure: line 3691: python3.9: command not found
...
It seems that the python command executes, but fails the check, while python3 and python3.9 return command not found.
How can this be if my shell clearly thinks otherwise?
Thank you for any suggestions!!
