Getting python Numba working on Ubuntu 14.10 or Fedora 21 with python 2.7

Question

Recently, I have had a frustrating time to get python Numba working on Ubuntu or Fedora Linux. The main problem has been with the compilation of llvmlite. What do I need to

Answer 1

For Ubuntu 16.04

sudo pip3 install llvmlite

explicitly requests llvm version 3.9.

But in the official packages, there is (currently) only llvm up to version 3.8. The solution is to install it like this

Then you can run LLVM_CONFIG=/usr/bin/llvm-config-3.9 sudo pip3 install llvmlite
