"this system does not support AVX2 or BMI2 instructions"

[zhangyingmath]

Tried installing riptable on my personal laptop (pretty old, running Linux mint Tara), but got this error. I don't know what it means. Maybe this is known to the experts. (This is not a big problem.)

actually, this error keeps restarting my jupyter notebook. I can only start my jupyter notebook when I comment out "import riptable". Will appreciate a more explicit error message:

1. Would be good to get an error msg that simply prevents pip from claiming successfully installed riptable on my laptop.
2. Please indicate "riptable will not work", so I know it is not from a different package in my imports. Right now, this is the full msg "!!!NOTE: this system does not support AVX2 or BMI2 instructions, and will not work!" I saw the three exclamation marks and I figure this might be riptable.

@jack-pappas I can use Mint Tara and try build w/o avx2/bmi2
