The PyPI source tarball is not self-contained. You must first install the Ubuntu libmecab-dev package and at least one MeCab dictionary (another Ubuntu package, named mecab-[something]dic; there are several options and I don't know what the differences are). That should bring in everything else you need.

Binary wheels will be made available Real Soon Now that will not have this problem, but we don't plan on changing the contents of the source distribution.
