Garland Huang:

Hi all,

I'm trying to port my code to pypy and I'm experiencing issues with installing numpy and pandas.

For numpy I'm following https://pypy.org/download.html#installing and have tried all the options but they all fail. In particular when I run:

./pypy-xxx/bin/pip install cython numpy

I get the error:

Command "/usr/local/bin/pypy3 -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-m_dwzb9u/numpy/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-xpvk_cea-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code -9 in /tmp/pip-build-m_dwzb9u/numpy/

Similarly, when I try to install pandas with:

./pypy-xxx/bin/pip install cython pandas

I get the error:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-efuao0xv/pandas/

I've tried some of the regular fixes such as updating setuptools  but it hasn't resolved the issues and I'm still unable to install any of the modules. Any help would be great. Thanks.
