On a Ubuntu trusty system I ran
./configure --prefix=/home/rptlab/PYTHON
make && make install
and get an error related to the ctypes module not being importable.
I needed to do
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
./configure --prefix=/home/rptlab/PYTHON --with-system-ffi
make && make install
Something in setup.py seems to want ctypes irrespective of what I give to configure; I don't actually know what the alternative to
--with-system-ffi does, but it didn't work for me.
