在Linux CentOS 6.6上安装Python 2.7.9

CentOS 6.6自带的是Python 2.6.6，而编译llvm需要Python 2.7以上。

checking for python... /usr/bin/python checking for python >= 2.7... not found configure: error: found python 2.6.6 (/usr/bin/python); required >= 2.7

yum中最新的也是Python 2.6.6，只能下载Python 2.7.9的源代码自己编译安装。

操作步骤如下：

1）安装devtoolset

yum groupinstall "Development tools"

2）安装编译Python需要的包包

yum install zlib-devel yum install bzip2-devel yum install openssl-devel yum install ncurses-devel yum install sqlite-devel

3）下载并解压Python 2.7.9的源代码

cd /opt wget --no-check-certificate https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.9/Python-2.7.9.tar.xz tar xf Python-2.7.9.tar.xz cd Python-2.7.9

4）编译与安装Python 2.7.9

./configure --prefix=/usr/local make && make altinstall

5）将python命令指向Python 2.7.9

ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/bin/python

6）检查Python版本

sh sh-4.1# python -V Python 2.7.9 相关资源：python入门教程(PDF版)
