Such things tend to be fiddly, and we can't really help you with them:
better ask the blogger, then.

This means that Emacs can't find the "pymacs.el" file (i.e. either the
file is missing, or the Emacs's `load-path' does not include the
directory where that file can be found).

That means Emacs can't find the "ipython" executable.  You need to make
sure that executable can be found in one of the directories mentioned in
`exec-path' (which is initialized from the $PATH environment variable,
so you generally set $PATH rather than `exec-path').

I suggest you start by trying out the Python support that comes with
Emacs, and then build from there.
