Updating pyrex resolved this. [ebuild U ] dev-python/pyrex-0.9.8.5 [0.9.6.3] USE="-examples" 237 kB Upstream install guide does not mention a minimum version of pyrex. From their install guide: "Extensions in PyTables have been developed in Pyrex (see [5]) and the C language. You can rebuild everything from scratch if you have Pyrex installed, but this is not necessary, as the Pyrex compiled source is included in the source distribution."
