OK, never mind. Fixed.
By Googling the first error code, finding a suggested fix for that,
running again, Googling the new error, and several repeats of that, and
I've now got a working solution.
This recipe that somebody put on Github overcomes the main hurdle:

The main issue seems to be that contrary to the instructions on the
Numba website, it's now a requirement to have LLVM 3.6 installed, not
LLVM 3.5 which is in the Debian repository, and not LLVM 3.7 which is
the latest release at llvm.org. Fortunately, a prebuilt LLVM 3.6 is
available at llvm.org.
Also I needed to install this lot from the Debian repository:
python-pip python-setuptools build-essential
python-enum34 libedit-dev python-dev
