Can't install on Ubuntu using pip install -e

Hi!

I'm trying to install the HEAD version using pip from repo but it gives an error:

I also tried to follow the [http://pythonhosted.org/lda/installation.html#linux](installation instructions for Linux) and copy the contents:

cp -R /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lda* ~/.virtualenvs/my_env/lib/python3.4/site-packages/

but this error happens. I'm stuck now.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.3, Python 3.4.3 (from yyuu/pyenv) and virtualenv.

Thanks!

@paulochf: I think you'll need to do make cython prior to pip installing.

This runs find lda -name "*.pyx" -exec $(CYTHON) {} \; which generates *.c files from all the *.pyx files. That's why gcc can't find lda/_lda.c.

Thanks, I get it to work!
