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: https://gist.github.com/sshillo/62955e46cb05e2b47ad3 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 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
