Building llvmlite requires LLVM 3.9.x

~/llvmlite   master  LLVM_CONFIG=/usr/local/Cellar/llvm@3.8/3.8.1/bin/llvm-config-3.8 python setup.py install

I get this on mac and ubuntu (both have llvm-3.8 installed, llvm-3.9 is not available via apt neither via brew)

If you don’t need to build llvmlite/llvm manually, you can get pre-built binaries through conda. We are also testing wheel packages for linux for the current llvmlite release. We have it for py2.7 and py3.5 with pip install -i https://pypi.anaconda.org/sklam/simple llvmlite

LLVM_CONFIG=/usr/local/Cellar/llvm@3.9.0/bin/llvm-config pip install llvmlite

it works for me, thanks a lot.
