I'm trying to install VIM with Python support on Linux without sudo, but for some reason VIM always gets installed without python ( -python in vim --version )

1. I first installed Python locally by downloading the tgz file and decompressing it in $HOME

2. Then I cd to that directory and ran: ./configure --prefix=$HOME/python && make && make install

I already got VIM installed without Python support, so I just went to the VIM source directory and ran the following:

3. ./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-features=huge --enable-pythoninterp --without-x --with-python-config-dir=/home/<user>/python/lib/python2.7/config

4. make && make install

VIM so far still shows -python and echo has('python') returns 0

The /src/auto/config.log file shows that it's trying to use the system python, i.e.,

configure:5486: checking for python
configure:5504: found /usr/bin/python 
.
.
configure:5740: result: no: PYTHON DISABLED

but fails and end up not using python!.

Am I doing something wrong here?
