I’ve followed your tutorial about python 3.5 for Centos 7 but after last step “make altinstall” I have got:
gcc -pthread -Xlinker -export-dynamic -o python Programs/python.o libpython3.5m.a -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm
if test “no-framework” = “no-framework” ; then \
/usr/bin/install -c python /usr/local/bin/python3.5m; \
else \
/usr/bin/install -c -s Mac/pythonw /usr/local/bin/python3.5m; \
fi
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file ‘/usr/local/bin/python3.5m’: Permission denied
make: *** [altbininstall] Error 1
Do you know what went wrong…? I have installed python 3 as admin user not as a root.
Regards,
Leon

Have you tried with root user because you are not getting the root privileges necessary to install files in system configuration directory.
Thanks
