Pip doesn't seem to build dependencies from source on my Ubuntu server, while it always does that on my OS X machine. For example, when I try to install package qiime in a conda or virtualenv (I tried both) environment it takes seconds to install a hell lot of things that take loads of time to compile on my Mac.
(qiime)user@server:~$ pip install qiime

When I try to use the package I get various errors that prove that pip hasn't really compiled any dependencies. What should I do with that? For example, let's try to import pandas
In [1]: import pandas
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: C extension: /home/user/.conda/envs/qiime/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pandas/hashtable.so: undefined symbol: PyFPE_jbuf not built. If you want to import pandas from the source directory, you may need to run 'python setup.py build_ext --inplace' to build the C extensions first.
I know I can build everything manually, but I really want to fix pip.
