Do you need to install to /opt instead of the default of
/usr/local/bin? I have multiple versions of Python installed on a Red Hat
system (Centos, but RH should be the same) using the default prefix of
/usr/local/bin and don't have any trouble.
I recommend you try again with just:
./configure
make
make altinstall
then add an alias to your .bashrc
alias python=python2.7
and see how that works for you.
