Minor installation issue on macOS High Sierra. #4

Closed asonnino closed 5 years ago

Installation through pip install bplib doesn't work on macOS; however cloning the repo and executing python setup.py install works fine.

Tested with python 2.7 and python 3 on macOS High Sierra. Here is the error:

build/temp.macosx-10.13-x86_64-3.6/bplib._bplib.c:483:10: fatal error: 'openssl/crypto.h' file not found
  #include <openssl/crypto.h>

Did you ever manage to fix this? If so could you submit a patch to fix it for others?

The problem vanished when I updated my Mac. The problem was probably coming from openSSL (maybe an old or broken installation of openSSL) -- now everything is working fine.
