What I believe MenTaLguY was trying to say is that you would need to  
sit down and do a bunch of compiling to get it going.

Those C extensions link against other libraries on the system.  For  
some reason, this isn't working out for your build process.  It could  
be because you don't have the needed library installed, or just that  
your package-manager installs aren't recognized, possibly because of  
missing header files.

By pulling those libraries down yourself and building them from  
source, you can probably get around at least a large portion of  
this.  However, that's not likely to boil down to a simple series of  
steps.
