I have the following error when trying to install librosa with pip:

I'm using:

• OSX 10.11.6
• Python 2.7.13
• pip 9.0.1

This is a noted issue for resampy: https://github.com/bmcfee/resampy/issues/34 and is not specific to librosa.

TLDR: the quick fix is to install numpy first and then it should work.

The less quick, but long-term better fix (IMO) is to use conda packaging instead of pip, if that's a possibility for you.

@bmcfee that worked for me, same specifics.
Thanks a lot!

This issue should be resolved by resampy 0.2.0. If it's still not working, the install issue will be due to some other problem unrelated to the above, so I'm closing this out.
