I am trying to build Pycurl against a version of libcurl (7.53.1) without success.

I am on MACOSX El Capitan v10.11.6.

I am not even sure I am aligned with OpenSSL at this point. I may need to make sure OpenSSL is properly installed and get Curl built with OpenSSL. Finally get Pycurl built with the proper Curl.

I have been followed couple of tracks on-line but none of them are getting me where I need to be.

What would be the best option to solve this build issue?

Ok, there is definitely some challenges to build Pycurl. Here are the steps I took:

  1. Make sure OpenSSL was installed (if not use Brew: brew install openssl).

  2. Rebuild Curl with OpenSSL, remember Curl is not built with OpenSSL by default on MacOsX/El Capitan, SecureTransport is used instead. (try: brew install --force curl --with-openssl)

  3. Rebuild Pycurl with "pip". I had success with pip but not with easy_install. (try: sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" pip install pycurl)

Pycurl is installed under: /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pycurl.so

Version installed is: pycurl-7.43.0
