  • Please eleborate more. What have you tried? What isn't working? Do you get an error message, (and if so, what is it?) and at what step do you get stuck? – Sander Toonen Dec 11 '15 at 10:17

Try: ./configure prefix=/x/y and then make install.
Then add the path /x/y/bin in .bashrc as: 

PYTHONPATH=/home/something/python/bin
export PATH=$PYTHONPATH:$PATH

  • its showing ./configure command not found.I think i need execution permission on ./configure. right? – Hardik Dec 11 '15 at 10:12
  • Did you try chmod +x configure ? If that fails, try /bin/bash ./configure – Idos Dec 11 '15 at 10:15
  • Are you sure you are running ./configure from the correct directory? usually configure is in the top directory after you extracted the source of a package. – Idos Dec 11 '15 at 10:20
  • Hi Idos,I tired your solution but not working. – Hardik Dec 15 '15 at 04:33
  • @Hardik what is the error? – Idos Dec 15 '15 at 09:58
  • its showing :WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target – Hardik Dec 16 '15 at 06:11
  • @Hardik this is a foolproof guide: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2002-March/012903.html If this doesn't work then you are definitely doing something wrong, it is very easy and elaborate. – Idos Dec 16 '15 at 07:40
