What OS are you using?  This error commonly happens on Linux when the OpenSSL headers aren't installed.

Did the install script print instructions about required packages when you first execute it?

Hello everbody,

I forked and cloned the repo on bitbucket and am now trying to install yt using the install script. Unfortunately I keep running into trouble:

The installation runs fine until:

Installing PNG

Installing FreeType2

Installing SQLite3

Installing Python.  This may take a while, but don't worry.  yt loves you.

Installing mercurial-3.1

Setting YT_DIR=/home/beckmann/soft/yt

Installing distribute

at which point it exits with

I have tried installing distribute manually but I immediately run into the same error with the next package so that is not a solution.

This website suggests that the issue is that SSL is not supported: http://www.xinotes.net/notes/note/628/ and I need to recompile python with SSL? How do I do that in this context? Is there another solution? I do not have root access on this machine. 

Thank you,

Ricarda
