Rich,

Slackware 15.0 ships with python 3.9, not python 3.7.  Looks like your custom python 3.7 installation is interfering with the build.

# ls -l /usr/bin/python*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     9 Apr  8  2021 /usr/bin/python -> python2.7*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    16 Apr  8  2021 /usr/bin/python2-config -> python2.7-config*
