Numpy MKL errors during installation

I’m trying to build numexpr 2.6.9 from source using Python 3.7.4 and numpy 1.17.0, but I get the following error message during configuration:

mkl_info:

It seems like something might be wrong with my numpy installation, but it passed all of its unit tests. Is numexpr 2.6.9 not compatible with numpy 1.17.0? How can I debug this?

[robbmcleod]

I added site.cfg to the MANIFEST.in file, which then builds an sdist without the offending file, in 8ea8c7406c85c2e794cc0bafd180f0edcf0d690d. Sorry about that, I had no idea I was uploading my own site.cfg. I’ll start prepping for a 2.7.0 release.

[robbmcleod]

It looks like it picks up my own site.cfg then, even though it is in .gitignore. We are well past time for a new release, so let me look into excluding it via setuptools.
