$sudo yum install gcc
$sudo yum install gcc-c++
$ sudo pip install numpy
$ sudo yum install python-devel
$ sudo yum install pytz

I get the error as below

What AMI are you using? It is very crutial information. I run pandas in amazon on the "Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type" just fine. — firelynx

You are most likely running out of memory. Try making a swap file - it worked for me:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=524288
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
sudo pip install pandas

If you think you will need the extra juice later too, you can bump up instance size under Configuration > Instances.
