Error when installing Vim

Question

I cloned Vim from the GitHub repo and then run

./configure --with-features=huge \
            --enable-multibyte \
            --enable-rubyinterp=yes \
            --enable-python3interp=yes \
            --with-python3-config-dir=$(python3-config --configdir) \
            --enable-perlinterp=yes \
            --enable-luainterp=yes \
            --enable-cscope \
            --prefix=/usr/local

which seems all fine, but then make fails:

I have verified that removing the two options relative to python (--enable-python3interp=yes --with-python3-config-dir=$(python3-config --configdir)), make succeeds.

As suggested by filbranden in the comments, I workarounded the issue by installing Vim from Arch package repository.

Not that I had not tried, but the package vim, as you can read here, does not come with the +clipboard feature, hence my attempt to build it from source.

It truns out that the package gvim does come with that feature, so installing it solved the issue. (Even if I'll never use gvim).
