Answer 1

If you compile Python from source, you must have the lzma-dev package installed, or it will not be built into python.

For ubuntu: sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev

For centos: yum install -y xz-devel

Then configure && make && make install

Answer 2

I used other good answers from here and didn't solve the problem (Ubuntu 18.04, Python3.8), still get this warning. Actually there is one more package is needed to be installed to solve the problem:

sudo apt-get install lzma 

So the whole pipeline (run in the python source code folder):

sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev sudo apt-get install lzma ./configure --enable-optimizations sudo make sudo make altinstall
