Seaborn install error

I'm trying to install seaborn on Ubuntu, and I have all the necessary dependencies already available: Python 2.7, numpy, scipy, matplotlib, and pandas. When I run pip install seaborn I get the following error:

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
----------------------------------------
Cleaning up...
Command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip_build_root/pandas/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-UFktoK-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_root/pandas
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return command.main(cmd_args)

    text = '\n'.join(complete_log)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 43: ordinal not in range(128)

I've never gotten a decoding error before when installing python packages. Any thoughts on what's going on?

EDIT: full stack trace here.

One simple way to install Seaborn is, download the package from the github on your local machine. from the terminal/command prompt go to that particular directory and type python setup.py install

before you do that make sure you have the setup file in that directory. this worked for me :-)
