Configure, build and install log files are available here.

EDIT : I switched to release-2.10.0 and everything works fine. I’ll leave this here as a bug report but I don’t require this to be solved anytime soon.

Do you know what version of numpy you had installed along with this?

@kif could this be related to the cleanup of numpy in the Cython code?

I’m not sure what happened then but I’m unable to reproduce this now. I didn’t save my conda env file so I can’t say where the other packages in the env came from but git-master now builds correctly with a fresh conda env. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Could this error have something to do with a conda env where numpy and numpy base are from two different repositories like this ?
