Segmentation fault after import monetdblite

[jazzido]

Hi,

I'm building with stock Python 3.6.3 (from Pyenv) on macOS 10.13.3:

In [1]: import monetdblite
[1]    2611 segmentation fault  ipython

(Same behavior as #9)

I believe I am hitting the same issue. The problem in my case is the following:

$ pip install monetdblite
[...installation output...]
$ python
Python 2.7.15 (default, May 15 2018, 15:37:31)
[GCC 7.3.1 20180303 (Red Hat 7.3.1-5)] on linux2

The workaround is to not use the published pypi version, but to clone the repository and compile from source as outlined in the README file:

$ git clone https://github.com/hannesmuehleisen/MonetDBLite-Python.git --depth 1 --recursive
$ python setup.py install
