python - Pyaudio installation error - 'command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1'

Question

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, Python 2.7.1 and wanted to install Pyaudio. So I ran,

$ sudo easy_install pyaudio

in the terminal and the process exited with following error messages,

I wasn't sure whether to post this on askubuntu.com or here in stackoveflow, but anyway here it is in stackoverflow. Also I google'd a bit this question and found by installing python-dev have solved the problem for some. I've already installed python-dev. What may have gone wrong?

UPDATE

Following are the new errors I get after installing libportaudio-dev,
