numba import error, "cannot import name _typeconv", airgapped install of numba/llvmlite help

[Linwood Creekmore III]

Greetings all

I'm haivng an install problem for numba 0.27.  Here is everything I have.

OS= CentOS 6.7, airgapped network

Built GCC 5.2 using these instructions: https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-gcc-on-centos-6 

Built LLVM and Clang 3.8.1 using these instructions: https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-llvm-and-clang-on-centos-6

I downloaded llvmlite 13.0, ran 

python setup.py build

Received no errors.  Then ran 

python setup.py install

Again, no errors.  Tried running 

python runtests.py

Got error.  However, I saw on one post, we can ignore errors?  So, I continued to numba.

Downloaded 0.27,

python setup.py build

And got no errors.  Then for numba, did this

python setup.py install

Got this error:

Extracting numba-0.27.0......
    def __init__(self,v: int):
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

However, the install "finishes" with no errors.  Next, I launch ipython and try to import numba, and received this

error:

 

cannot import name  _typeconv

Any suggestion on what I can do?

Can you transcribe the error here?

Is there a more detailed error message you can transcribe here?

Thanks

numba package has this file runtests.py, all it does is call python with the file located under directory numba\runtests.py

so you do 

cd numba

python runtests.py 

it will do the same, I also ran into the same problem ...cannot import name  _typeconv 

but in my case I do manage to install numba on mac os 10.12
