Looks like it cannot find a compiler.

From a quick look at the Anaconda docs it really wants you to use its 
prebuilt packages. As it happens ReportLab is one of those packages, 
though it is not installed by default:

Looks like the way to go is to use the conda package manager. A blog 
that explains how is here:
