Research direction

Start by inspecting the Makefile and reproducing the reported make failure on a vanilla Fedora 28 environment without python3.3. Check the handling of the python3.3 lookup, then verify that the build completes without requiring that interpreter when it is absent.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The build fails and stops on a vanilla Fedora 28 install:

> git clone https://github.com/mlpack/benchmarks.git
> cd benchmarks
> make
which: no python3.3 in (/usr/share/Modules/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin)

Everything works after deleting the python3.3 line. The makefile is written as if it expects that python3.3 might not be installed, but then it fails and stops if python3.3 is not installed. This seems like a fairly major problem. I don't work with makefiles myself, so I can't really offer any suggestions.
