llvmpy on Ubuntu Server 12.04

Question

I'm trying to install llvmpy on ubuntu 12.04 using edpFree 7.3-2

# uname -a 
Linux svnserver 3.2.0-38-generic #61-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 19 12:18:21 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# lsb_release -a

After the pip command I receive an error:

The problem is on vectorize component !

As prerequisite I installed (using aptitude):

llvm-3.0
llvm-3.0-dev
llvm-3.0-runtime
libllvm3.0

May be the 3.0 must be replaced with 3.1 ?

Can You help me ?

Answer 1

You would want at least llvm-3.1 which has the component that is declared as missing:

$ llvm-config --libs vectorize
-lLLVMVectorize -lLLVMInstCombine -lLLVMTransformUtils -lLLVMipa -lLLVMAnalysis -lLLVMTarget -lLLVMMC -lLLVMObject -lLLVMCore -lLLVMSupport
$ llvm-config --version
3.1

Though I would consider 3.3 if possible, as that's where development on that appears to have reached a reasonable point.

Edit: Looks like llvmpy-0.11.0 is being pulled in which expects llvm-3.2. Use:

pip install -I llvmpy==0.10.0

instead to get the version that binds against llvm-3.1. Tested on:

$ lsb_release -a
