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

In case anyone else recently had this problem, according to their github page...

"llvmlite works with Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 or greater. As of version 0.17.0, llvmlite requires LLVM 4.0. It does not support earlier or later versions of LLVM.

They have a compatibility table of what works with what. All recent packages can be gotten from their webpage.
