I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.2, on which I try to install
Python 3.6.1. I have done this multiple times in the past, but for some
reason I tried it 3 times since yesterday but I kept having the same
error message. Here are the steps that i have taken for my installation:

|$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade $ wget
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.1/Python-3.6.1.tar.xz $ tar xvf
Python-3.6.1.tar.xz $ sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
$ sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev
libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev $ cd
Python-3.6.1$ ./configure $ sudo make altinstall|

After the last command the following message will popup at some point:

The directory '/home/mariejosv/.cache/pip/http' or its parent
directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been
disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory.
If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

The directory '/home/mariejosv/.cache/pip' or its parent directory
is not owned by the current user and caching wheels has been
disabled. check the permissions and owner of that directory. If
executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

How can I fix this?

Sorry,
I still have no idea what you are trying to do and what you want help with?

Alan,
my bad, here is the error message.
*The directory '/home/mariejosv/.cache/pip/http' or its parent directory
is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please
check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with
sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.


I would guess that the poster has done some pip installs as root, but with 
$HOME still as their personal home directory, and is now doing some pip install 
stuff as themselves.


My advice would be to simply remove the .cache/pip directory.

Then in future, do your pip work from a proper login shell as whichever user.  
So either as yourself, or if you become root, do an "su -" to get a root login 
shell before proceeding.


Personally my practice is to mostly use pip only with virtualenvs, as myself.

Using pip as root tends to conflict with Python packages supplied by the OS 
vendor/supplier; better to stay out of the way of that and work as oneself on 
data the OS vendor doesn't want to own.


Cheers,
Cameron Simpson

OK, I just realized that you replied to the wrong post
and this is actually about the thread on installing 3.6
on Ubuntu.

Re: [Tutor] Installing Python3.6.1 on Ubuntu 16.04.2

[Mike Lisanke]

looks like python3.6 isn't in the stable repo for arm64 ubuntu 16.04... so
articles exist for building it. None appear to mention .configure
-- used and there's a lot of options... if anyone has a reference
to what to configure, let me know.
