Installing django on red hat linux box

I have alot of experience installing packages on windows and mac and it goes very smoothly.
I do not have alot of experience doing the installs on a Linux box.

I am running into problems installing 4 packages.

The Lan team tried yum, but the basic django packages were not available.

Then I tried installing pip and I got proxy errors using the get-pip.py script

So I fell back to installing the dowloaded packages with the old standy  setup.py install which fails.

I am attaching the top of the log

Anyone have any suggestions how to proceed?
