pipenv install shows "ERROR: virtualenv is not compatible with this system or executable"

When I type pipenv install, it shows:

I googled many websites but not found any solutions.

The steps are similar to PyCon slides (compile Python, install pipenv in venv):: 1. git clone https://github.com/python/cpython.git 2. git checkout 3.6 3. mv cpython python 4. ./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local/python 5. make 6. sudo make install 7. mkdir -p ~/.local/bin ~/.local/venvs
8. ln -s ~/.local/python/python ~/.local/bin/python3.6 9. ln -s ~/.local/bin/python3.6 ~/.local/bin/python3 10. vi ~/.bashrc alias python3='/home/deckenkang66/.local/bin/python3' 11. OPEN a new terminal 12. python3 -m venv ~/.local/venvs/pipenv
13. ~/.local/venvs/pipenv/bin/pip install pipenv
14. ln -s ~/.local/venvs/pipenv/bin/pipenv ~/.local/bin
15. pipenv --version pipenv, version 2018.05.18 16. pipenv install

Thanks.

Where are you installing Python? It seems like you installation is broken. The compile steps are strange too—you sudo make install, which by default would link your Python executable to /usr/local/bin, but then you link your Python from ~/.local. My guess is your installing Python wrong in step 7–9. Not a problem in Pipenv.

As I said, it’s a dependency issue. If you are interested in the details, there is a link above.

I would think that the most important information for you as a package maintainer is that your dependency doesn’t work for some people.
