"here" being what kind of system and Python version?

You can either install a (slower) pure Python version of Cython by passing

    --no-cython-compile

to setup.py, or you can install the Python development files (i.e. header
files etc.) so that you can build the faster binary version. Note that you
will need them anyway if you want to use Cython (to build extension
modules).
