Also, try without setting PYTHONHOME. I'm not sure what you're trying to do by setting that but you shouldn't need to. I didn't think I needed to either, but when I try without it, I get: Could not find platform dependent libraries Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to [:] Could not find platform dependent libraries Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to [:]

FWIW, I would be interested in learning more about the above warning (its significance, how it can be addressed, whether it can be ignored, etc). I also get this message when installing 3.5.2 from source on Ubuntu 14.04.

Those messages are harmless and are generated by the Makefile steps that update Importlib's bootstrap files, Python/importlib_external.h and Python/importlib_external.h. See http://bugs.python.org/issue14928 for the origins of this. It should be possible to fix the Makefile to suppress those messages. I suggest you open an issue about it.
