Hi, what is the output of numpy.get_include() on your computer?

[nttstar]

You can give us a comment if you resolved this issue, thanks! @nvanderperren

[nvanderperren]

sorry, forgot this issue...

Hi, what is the output of numpy.get_include() on your computer?

'/Users/nastasia/.virtualenvs/FAME/lib/python3.8/site-packages/numpy/core/include'

[mrgiba]

Any news around the topic ? I am also having the same issue

numpy.get_include() output in my environment:

/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/numpy/core/include

[nttstar]

Did you use clang? Maybe you can try replace #include "numpy/arrayobject.h" with #include <numpy/arrayobject.h> and then build the library manually.

[zdxpan]

ipython 
import numpy 
numpy.get_include()

sudo cp -r /Users/xxxxxxxxxx/anaconda3/envs/sd/lib/python3.10/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy 
/usr/local/include

it perfectly solve this problem
