Mac OS X 10.10 Meld Error

Question

I have both Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 installed on my MacBook, as both are needed sometimes.

Python 2.7 is shipped by Apple itself. Python 3.4 is installed by Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit installer in the link https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-343/

Here is how I installed Meld on Mac OS X 10.10:

1. Install apple development command line tools;
2. Install Homebrew;
3. homebrew install homebrew/x11/meld

4. When launched meld, it says:

   **bash: /usr/local/bin/meld: /usr/local/opt/python/bin/python2.7: bad interpreter: No such file or directory**
   

From my research, some people recommend to modify the first line in /usr/local/bin/pip, i.e.,

#!/usr/local/opt/python/bin/python2.7

This file is missing. However, if I want to be able to use both Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 for Meld, what should I do to make it work?

Answer 1

This should solve the problem: brew link --overwrite python
