Illegal instruction when importing numpy module
See original GitHub issueWhen I import numpy, I get Illegal Instruction error
On Debian wheezy, install last numpy version (1.16.1) with pip Then :
root@butters2:~$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Nov 19 2017, 01:35:09)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
Illegal instruction
It works if I downgrade to version 1.14 maximum

If you wish to force pip to compile from source, you should be able to use the –no-binary :all: flag
Hello @mattip
I left the company since then, so I cannot test anymore. As far as I can remember, we have found a solution to avoid the problem. I think you can close this and if someone else has the same problem, there will be some clues to start from.
Thanks for your help
