Trying to install pycrypto on Mac OSX mavericks

Question

I am currently trying to install pycrypto and when I execute python setup.py build I receive this following error:

cc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -arch         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the same issue and was able to fix it by installing gmp:

brew install gmp

Then I nuked my build directory and started over with the pycrypto install and it succeeded.

This also fixes the warning message during pycrypto's configure script:

warning: GMP or MPIR library not found; Not building Crypto.PublickKey._fastmath

See related question.

Answer 2

For installation of PyCrypto use MacPorts and following command. I tested it on the newest version of Mac OS X - Yosemite:

Python Version 2.7:

sudo port install py27-crypto

Python Version 3.4:

sudo port install py34-crypto

Answer 3

Install homebrew (single line for installation at bottom of page), then try:

$ sudo pip install pycrypto

Answer 4

If I'm not mistaken, pip and homebrew are both package managers, but homebrew is built on ruby and pip is built on python.

$ sudo pip install pycrypto

This command you referred to needs pip installed, not homebrew.

This way to get pip

Answer 5

This did it for me:

  sudo port install gmp
  sudo ln -s  /opt/local/lib/libgmp.dylib  /usr/lib/libgmp.dylib  
  ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error CFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include sudo -E pip install pycrypto

Answer 6

To install pycrypto run the following command

$ CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/Cellar/gmp/6.1.2_2/lib pip install pycrypto
