This often happens when you use pip with sudo. That is because the environmental variables created by the activate script in the virtualenvare often valid only for the current user and not for the super user. You can confirm this by typing these two commands after activating the virtualenv.

which python
sudo which python

You will see that the latter points to the system python installation.

One solution is to create the virtualenv in the userspace so that you don't need superuser privileges to make changes to it. The other is to do sudo -i, activate the virtualenv and then do the pip install.
