@Taylor-96, I've just updated to use the latest pybind11. Would you mind trying again from scratch, and letting me know which compilers and python version you use? Thanks!

Update from email

just an update. I tried a different installation of fftw3 and gave it another go. I got a few errors saying "‘size_t’ was not declared in this scope" in the building of extras.cpp as it seems like there is something going on with the namespaces. After switching to std::size_t in minimizers.cpp and minimizers.h everything built correctly. Now all the unit tests passed so it seems like updating to pybind11 did the trick.
