I am surprised you had a failure installing numba on Ubuntu 14.04. I am using it on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS without issues and with pip (no special Python distribution because I want full control). You need to have the right version of LLVM installed from the Ubuntu packages (there are several of them). Note that I am not a developer of numba, just a simple user, so maybe I was just lucky.
