pyvex build fails - "No such file or directory: 'pyvex_c'"

I was installing angr via "pip install angr". During the process of building pyvex I encountered the following error:

Hello,

Are you running Ubuntu 12.04, by any chance? What version of pip do you
have?

Hi Zardus,

I'm using RHEL 6 (Linux 2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.x86_64) and pip version 0.8.3 and python version 2.7.10.

[zardus]

So at the very least, you'll definitely need up upgrade pip. In your
virtualenv, do pip install -I pip. The rest of the install might work
then, but my guess is that RHEL6 is still way too old. We've never tried
angr on redhat, in general...

I would suggest a docker install, but it looks like docker is only
supported by RHEL7 :-(

Timing this one out.
