I am attempting to install python 3.6.4 to my home directory on a linux cluster where I do not have root access. A warning, "linux/random.h present but cannot be compiled", was emitted from the config process requesting that I report this here. A summary of commands used follows: $ wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.4/Python-3.6.4.tar.xz $ tar -xvf Python-3.6.4.tar.xz $ cd Python-3.6.4.tar.xz $ mkdir ~/python364 $ ./config --prefix /home/mikes/python364 --enable-optimizations The following may also be relevant: $ uname -a Linux JJM4 2.6.18-308.el5 #1 SMP Tue Feb 21 20:06:06 EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux And the config.log is attached.

Thanks for reporting this. Since 3.6 is no longer maintained it's unlikely that this will be investigated. Please create a new issue if you are seeing this with a current version of Python (>= 3.9).
