I tried to install python3 on a linux server without the admin right. I searched around as found something like
tar zxfv Python-3.11.tgz
find ~/python -type d | xargs chmod 0755
cd Python-3.11
./configure --prefix=$HOME/python --with-ssl=/usr/lib/ssl
make && make install
The installation was successful. But when I run the pip3 to install packages, it returns the error of SSL
WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=0, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.")': /simple/numpy/
Could not fetch URL https://pypi.org/simple/numpy/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pypi.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /simple/numpy/ (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.")) - skipping
The orignial python on the server can connect to pypi.org. I thought it may be some path error when the python3.11 was instlled without sudo right.
Any sugggestions? Thanks!
tried configured the ssl path as mentioned above, but not working.
./configure --prefix=$HOME/python --with-ssl=/usr/lib/ssl
Your build is missing the ssl module, because of an incorrect configure option provided:
--with-ssl
The correct configure option is:
--with-openssl
The path should be to the dir containing include/openssl/ssl.h, i.e. if you have
/path/to/openssl-1.1.1g/include/openssl/ssl.h
Then provide:
--with-openssl=/path/to/openssl-1.1.1g/
You'll see in the output of ./configure whether ssl.h is found or not. Don't bother to run make until the ./configure is correctly finding OpenSSL headers, otherwise you'll just end up with a broken build and no _ssl extension module available.
