Hello,
I found out the cause of my problem. I needed to upgrade my version of 
setuptools (I upgrade to version 18.1 which is the latest thanks to the 
clue here
https://github.com/gotcha/ipdb/issues/60). I think hit another problem with 
Cython missing some pxd files. I think this was due to my installing the 
ubuntu version of
Cython. I removed this and then the build went through to completion.
Just thought I should post this in case someone else hits a similar problem 
(and of course to avoid people spending time on debugging it).
