Could you provide some more context or debug output ?

The .c file is definitely part of the egenix-mx-base package,
but it's possible that tox is using a different way of
installing the package than pip itself does when using
it under "deps".

If there's a way to work around the problem, we'll fix this
in our mxSetup.py.
