Hi Pacho,
Those configure files are just old. Current beta versions can compile
against either python 3.7 or python 2.7, so the basic compatibility problem
has been solved as John said. What I do for compiling with python support
has been to update the library locations. For 1.9.3, that meant compiling
against python 2.7, but now the betas do work with python 3 versions.
