I have libbz2-dev installed however I am still getting the following import error while importing gensim :

>>> import gensim
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/krishna/gensimenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gensim/__init__.py", line 6, in <module>
    from gensim import parsing, matutils, interfaces, corpora, models, similarities, summarization

I'm having the same issue and the tip above didn't resolve it. Perhaps before creating the virtual env you need to:

sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev
