Could it be that you start ranger with a specific python version?
Perhaps with an alias in your .bashrc?
Try just running /usr/local/bin/ranger directly.

If this works, here's the fix:  Run "sudo PYTHON=python3.2 make install"
to install ranger with python3.2.  Replace "python3.2" with whatever
python version you want ranger to use.
The alternative, of course, is to fix your .bashrc alias/function/whatever
