Issues installing gensim on Ubuntu

Question

I am trying to install gensim in Python on my Ubuntu. I tried with easy_install but getting errors. Could someone help with identifying what is going wrong?

easy_install

easy_install -U gensim

Had to upgrade Scipy...followed the solution given in the answer by josteinb in the following thread:

Can't upgrade Scipy

Was able to upgrade scipy as follows:

sudo apt-get build-dep python-scipy
sudo pip install --upgrade scipy

easy_install of gensim worked smoothly after this
