Trying to install python version 3.5.0 with pyenv so that I can install an older version of scipy.

This is the error I'm receiving:

(base) ➜  ~ pyenv install 3.5.0

I'm guessing I don't have build dependencies but not sure how to determine which ones/how to install? Installing newer versions of python with pyenv is working fine.

Already tried:

Uninstall the old tools

$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Reinstall Xcode Command line tools

$ xcode-select --install

Install python using pyenv

$ pyenv install 3.5.0

  • It is curious that you're running into problems with "ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386" — that implies you're trying to build a 32-bit version of Python rather than a 64-bit version (which would mention `x86_64` instead). It may well be that the 32-bit libraries are not available any more for macOS Big Sur, but it is surprising that the configuration steps did not spot that. – Jonathan Leffler Apr 04 '22 at 20:21
