I'm trying install pycrypto on osx with easy_install and I'm getting the following error:

Yes, it's a result of installing Xcode 4. It tries to build for ppc, although Xcode 4 no longer has the relevant bits for that. See this question for ways round it: https://superuser.com/questions/259278/python-2-6-1-pycrypto-2-3-pypi-package-broken-pipe-during-build
I have this in my ~/.bash_profile to address this very issue:
# Set compile flags to not try to compile for PPC (no longer supported by xcode 4)
# (this is required for eg building pycrypto)
export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64"
xCode 5.1
ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future pip install pycrypto
Looks like this got a little more difficult with OSX 10.9. Here's the additional stuff I did:
brew install libffi
If you see the warning about how it's installed "keg-only", that means homebrew did not link it, so you'll need to provide some more info with export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/pkgconfig. At that point the install blows up because by default OSX now dies on warning flags, so suppress that behavior as well:
export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
export CPPFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
Then you should be able to install with pip.
