Installation with pip fails (on Arch Linux)

I wanted to setup a development build for pandas, but this fails because of an installation error in bottleneck.

First, I set up a virtual environment. Then pip install bottleneck gives me this error:

    Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed.  Most
    likely you are trying to import a failed build of numpy.
    If you're working with a numpy git repo, try `git clean -xdf` (removes all
    files not under version control).  Otherwise reinstall numpy.

Thanks @qwhelan, now installing bottleneck via pip in a virtual environment works without any errors.

@abhishekshingadiya can you provide the steps you followed and the output of the commands in order to have a detailed reproduction? 😃
