Recommended action: Install the suggested build environment first (Ubuntu: make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev curl git libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libxml2-dev libxmlsec1-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev libzstd-dev; macOS: xcode-select --install and brew install openssl@3 readline sqlite3 xz tcl-tk@8 libb2 zstd zlib pkgconfig), then reinstall. For OpenSSL in unusual prefixes pass CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-openssl=<prefix> (plus --with-openssl-rpath=auto for 3.10+). Option: Install the suggested build dependencies and rebuild [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Any pyenv install Steps: 1. Install the distro package list from the pyenv wiki 2. pyenv uninstall -f <ver> && pyenv install <ver> 3. Check: python -c 'import ssl, lzma, sqlite3, ctypes, bz2' Expected: No WARNING/ERROR lines; modules import Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
