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.
