I am trying to build cython from source with icc compiler on Ubuntu 14.04 as my python is compiled with Intel icc compiler.
When I tried to install cython using pip3 install cython and then ran cython I got following error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/cython", line 9, in <module>

How does one go about installing cython from source using icc compiler ?
I tried this and it does not work
From the cython directory(downloaded from github)
python3.4 setup.py CC=icc
I get the following message -
/home/aa/libPython/cython/Cython/Distutils/build_ext.py:20: UserWarning:
