Issue
I have two versions Python-2.7 , Python-3.5 which I was able to access with python(pip) and python3(pip3) command respectively. Then I have installed an another version of python (i.e 3.7.5).
I have used these commands to install it.
sudo apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev \
libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev \
xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.5/Python-3.7.5.tgz
tar xvf Python-3.7.5.tgz
cd Python-3.7.5
./configure --enable-optimizations --enable-shared
make -j6
sudo make altinstall
Everything was successful but the only issue is I was not able to access Python-3.7 using the command python3.7.
When I used python3.7 it returned this following error:
python3.7: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.7m.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Can anyone please help me regarding how to fix this issue?

Solution
You need to add /usr/local/lib/ to the library search path. You can call the following in the current shell before running python3.7:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
Or run ldconfig to add the path to the linker cache:
sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib
