Installation Instructions not working

[neurons]

Machine Configuration: 64-bit x86 machine running Ubuntu 14.04. Following along the instructions and using either of the two specified approaches fails in the last step. Namely, when running pip install -e . --user or sudo pip install -e . they both fail with this message:

compilation terminated.

error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

Hi,
Does it work if you first install h5py (pip install h5py) before poreseq, using either of the two approaches?

Yes, it seems that h5py was necessary. I also installed other packages in addition to h5py and the installation step seems to have worked. Now I'm running into issues

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 628, in resolve  raise DistributionNotFound(reqpkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pysam>0.8.2 

But this is likely due to a problem from using both pip and easy_install to manage packages.
