I'm having trouble installing scipy in an existing virtualenv with the following packages already installed

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04, and the virtualenv uses python 2.7.9 which I set up using pyenv. The first time I tried installing Scipy, I got a unicode error similar to the one reported here

Trouble installing scipy in virtualenv on a amazon ec2 linux micro instance

I tried a second time and it worked :/.

I also tried installing PySide, but it keeps failing with this error

I started a clean virtualenv testenv which uses python 2.7.6 (which comes with my distro). I'm able to cleanly install numpy and scipy and PySide.

Any thoughts on why the packages are having trouble getting installed with python 2.7.9?

Thanks.
