Missing sqlite3 after Python3 compile

You need to install libsqlite3 (Debian based) or sqlite-devel (RedHat based) and the associated header files before compiling Python because Python needs to find them during the compile process.

Did you make sure to run:

1. ./configure
2. make
3. make install

In this specific order? With no missing steps?

After apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

then

./configure --prefix=/opt/python3.7.4 --with-ssl --with-pydebugmakemake install

Note: You might need apt-get install libssl-dev aslo, openssl version must above 1.0.2 if you are compiling python3.7

For me, I'm using ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) I can't find a libssl-dev package to meet the requirement compiling python3.7 with ssl support. I modify my /etc/apt/sourcelist.d

deb http://cn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricteddeb-src http://cn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted

after install a newer libssl-dev, then change it back to the original one

deb http://cn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricteddeb-src http://cn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted

If you only have limited user access (no root or sudo permission) you can install to a local, user accessible, environment like so:

tar -xvf sqlite-autoconf-3270200.tar.gzcd sqlite-autoconf-3270200./configure --prefix=$HOME/.localmake && make install

This will install on your ~/.local tree.

Add ~/.local/bin to your path if missing.
