I am limited on what I can share as this is part of a huge stack of code that I am porting from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04.

It should be trivial, but somehow I am struggling with this. It doesn’t find numpy/arrayobject.h that I am referencing in my source file with #include <numpy/arrayobject.h>

I will try to share as much as I can, see if someone can guide me through a resolution.

Please let me know how I can improve the question. Directions or pointers are most welcome

UPDATE

$ ls -l /usr/include/numpy
ls: cannot access '/usr/include/numpy': No such file or directory

RESOLVED WITH

sudo ln -s  /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy /usr/include/numpy
