I'm trying to install and run pandas on an [Amazon](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/details/) Lambda instance. I've used the [recommended zip method](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-python-how-to-create-deployment-package.html) of packaging my code file `model_a.py` and related python libraries (`pip install pandas -t /path/to/dir/`) and uploaded the zip to Lambda. When I try to run a test, this is the error message I get:

> 
> Unable to import module 'model\_a': C extension:
>  /var/task/pandas/hashtable.so: undefined symbol: PyFPE\_jbuf not built.
>  If you want to import pandas from the source directory, you may need
>  to run 'python setup.py build\_ext --inplace' to build the C extensions
>  first.
>

Looks like an error in a variable defined in hashtable.so that comes with the pandas installer. Googling for this did not turn up any relevant articles. There were some references to a failure in `numpy` installation but nothing concrete. Would appreciate any help in troubleshooting this! Thanks.
