Thanks Jack for the info. I will take a look once more. As far as I remember the setup.py does not contain specific information about the thing it expects to find in that library.

/usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib - this sounds interesting, I will check if I can find something more detailed about this.

Have a good day,

MacOSX doesn't have a library libcrypt. Check the setup.py script to see whether it has any suggestions for it could be expecting from that library. If it's the fairly standard unix "crypt" function: that's in the standard library so you can just remove the crypt library..

If it's something else you may need to hunt around for it. There's a /usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib, but I have no idea what it contains..
