I have llvm version 3.4 installed. The full output is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/8074574/ .

Answer 1

llvmpy requires llvm 3.3 at the moment. This is available, but not the default on Ubuntu 14.04 (which defaults to the newer llvm 3.4). First, install llvm3.3:

sudo apt-get install llvm-3.3 llvm-3.3-runtime

Then, we need to tell pip to use the older llvm.

sudo sh -c "LLVM_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/bin/llvm-config-3.3 pip install llvmpy"

The above should also work for python3 using pip3
