To reply to my own question, this seems to have worked: git clone https://github.com/numba/llvmlite cd llvmlite LLVM_CONFIG=.../julia/usr/tools/llvm-config python setup.py install LLVM_CONFIG=.../julia/usr/tools/llvm-config pip install numba
Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem since the library I am really interested in (chemview) still crashes.
