Error while importing hdbscan

[s0j0urn]

I am getting the following error while trying to do : import hdbscan

I am on a windows 7 machine and with a 64 bit python installation using conda

Error :

I'm a little new to building conda packages; unfortunately it looks like I still have some learning to do. This is a fault of the conda packages I built. If you get your requirements installed via conda (scikit-learn and cython primarily) and then use pip install or install from source things should work out. Thanks for the report. I'll have to look into the conda packaging issues and see if I can understand what's going wrong there.

[s0j0urn]

Thank you for such a quick reply.

The install still did not work. I have tried it with both conda 32-bit package as well as 64-bit package. Is there any other way I can get it to work.

In case of pip install, error is:

That looks bad. I'm really not quite sure what has gone wrong here -- I have little experience on installing on windows. I reccommend using the manual install and deleting all the .c files in the hdbscan directory; i.e.

hdbscan/_hdbscan_tree.c hdbscan/_hdbscan_boruvka.x hdbscan/_hdbscan_linkage.c hdbscan/_hdbscan_reachability.c

And then try building again; there seems to be something with the C files that Windows is not liking.

[s0j0urn]

I tried on Ubuntu. It worked fine on Ubuntu

[lmcinnes]

I'm glad you managed to get it working. Sorry about the issues on Windows (windows seems to be my largest source of problems). I'll leave the issue open for now; some of the other people on the team have access to windows systems they can test on, and we'll try to get the windows problems resolved. Thanks for the issue report!

[h-krishna]

lmcinnes, Unfortunately I am getting the same error messages as above in win7 64 env. Regards Hari

[lmcinnes]

At this point I have to ask for help from anyone with Windows experience/knowledge. It seems that everything works fine on Linux and MacOS X (the environments I have access to), and at least sometimes works on Windows ... any help anyone with experience compiling on windows would be greatly appreciated!

[lmcinnes]

As a side note; is this a recent pip install that is failing? I attempted to add a wheel package for win64 just the other day as supplied from a helpful individual -- perhaps that has caused the problem?

[h-krishna]

It is indeed the pip. But I think the problem was due to numpy that required cython for versions 1.10 and above. Installed quite fine when Cython was installed.Thanks for the quick reply

[tejas-schdv]

Can confirm, had to install cython first then install hdbscan on ubuntu 16.04
