I tried to install python version 2.7.9 by pyenv. But I failed.
Following is result log:
checking for gettimeofday... yes
checking for major...yes
checking for getaddrinfo...yes
checking getaddrinfo bug...yes
Fatal: You must get working getaddrinfo() function. or you can specify "--disable-ipv6".

I used Ubuntu 14.04 in Parallels Desktop of my mac & pyenv's version is 20150719.
Please help me to figure this out.
Thanks.

I'm not sure why getaddrinfo() isn't working on your system, but apparently networking on your system isn't configured properly.

As workaround, as you can see in the error message, try specifying --disable-ipv6 as a configure option.

$ PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--disable-ipv6" pyenv install -v 2.7.9

I guess because I used proxychains as a proxy to download the python version.

It fails on Windows Subsystem for Linux or bash on Windows 10 too. I guess because the subsystem does not have access to the lower level functions...

Same problem with proxychains, solved by specifying PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS, thanks!
