Hi Dave,
many thanks.
I didn't build Python 3.8 myself. Mint put the program python3.8 into /usr/bin. So my settings should work.
It's not the executable that matters - it's the prefix that's used when Python was configured, which would have been /usr on a typical Linux distro's standard package.
With "export" (not declare) the environment variable is found. Now I get:

Python 3.8 ist found. But why should there python-config?
Because that's used to figure out where all the different parts of the installation can be found. On most Linux distros, there will be a python3-devel or python3-dev or similar package that will include that.
