I'm not sure what you mean by anaconda. There are two relevant software packages named anaconda. From Wikipedia: 1) Anaconda is the installer for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Oracle Linux, Scientific Linux, CentOS and Fedora. 2) Anaconda is a freemium[2] open source[3] distribution of the Python and R programming languages for large-scale data processing, predictive analytics, and scientific computing, that aims to simplify package management and deployment.[4][5][6][7][8] Its package management system is conda. Which one are you referring to? -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 1/10/17, Josh Warner <silvertrumpet999@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [scikit-image] Fw: Re: Compilation Problems To: "James Board" <jpboard2@yahoo.com> Date: Tuesday, January 10, 2017, 10:39 AM The simplest way to handle this, if you don't have the privileges to get openssl-dev or even properly troubleshoot the system install, is to abandon the system Python in favor of Anaconda/Miniconda or another full distribution that can install and run exclusively in user space. Keeping all your packages easily up to date, dependency management, trivial virtual environments, etc. are other huge benefits of this approach.

How sure are you that this is causing my problem?  I could build python and openssl-devel myself.  But without root access, that could be a lot of work because I'll have to track down each dependency manually. Thank you for replying.

  You appear to be using a self-built

  Python. Did you by chance forget

  to install openssl-devel before building Python, so that

you

  ended up

  with a Python that has no ssl module?
