Failing to build wheel

[karinlag]

I am installing 2.9 on a cluster now (redhat).

I fail building wheel, and I get this as the error just before Failing building wheel for ariba:

What is this assertion that is failing?

Sorry, don't know without looking into it more. What version of redhat are you running? I can see if I can reproduce the error.

Alternatively, you could try downlaoding the tarball release, unpacking and doing python3 setup.py install.

I got it to install!

I just had to completely eradicate my PYTHONPATH, and then do pip with the no-cache option. Of course, now I have a problem with GLIBCXX something or other due to the cython code in it, but I've taken that up with the cluster IT people :)
