While trying to "pip install ipython[notebook]" in my Cygwin installation (W7), I got this error due to libzmq:
Collecting ipython[notebook]

It took me a while to figure it out... In case you were in a similar situation, this is what I did:
1) Install some tools (via apt-cyg or setup.exe)
apt-cyg install libtool automake autoconf
(you will need the usual tools for compiling C/C++ code, such as gcc,g++,make, etc,etc)
2) Export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
3) Download and compile libsodium
./configure
make && make install
4) Download and compile libzmq
./autogen.sh
./configure
make && make install
5) Finally, try to install ipython[notebook] again:
pip install ipython[notebook]
It worked for me... Hope it helps you.
