Now, as the root user: make install CXX="/usr/bin/g++" ./configure ...: Avoid an annoying message during configuration. --prefix=/opt/python3.11: This installs python 3.11 into /opt in order to avoid conflicts with the system version of python, and allows for easy removal/isolation once programs update to python3.12 or later. --disable-shared: This switch disables building shared libraries. Since all the packages that need python-3.11 have built in modules and don't directly link to python, it is safe to turn off shared library support. --with-system-expat: This switch enables linking against the system version of Expat.
