I've just tried to build pandas0.15.2 and hit the problem below:

Comment From: jreback
can you show pd.show_versions()
builds fine on 0.21 (and 0.22.2) and haven't heard of any other issues.
how are you building?
Comment From: durack1
Is there an import statement that I need before calling pd.show_versions()? As pandas is not installed I'm not sure I can prompt for this output?
I'm trying to install from the tarball using python setup.py install --user
Comment From: jreback
hmm that should work (though never used the --user flag)
Comment From: durack1
On redhat this builds into ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ which is really helpful on systems you don't have admin privileges
Comment From: jreback
ok
not sure what the issue here is but using conda is quite convenient for installation nowadays
Comment From: rockg
Is that all that outputs for your error? I reported a similar problem in #9563 and it was the same module although the error was a bit different.

Comment From: jreback
I would guess you are actually picking up an older version of cython
