sudo apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib

It might be because the AWS linux image you are using doesn't have a C compiler installed.

To install, it depends on your distro but for me: sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

Afterwards I had to also install header files for python dev: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21530768
