MacOSX doesn't have a library libcrypt. Check the setup.py script to 
see whether it has any suggestions for it could be expecting from that 
library. If it's the fairly standard unix "crypt" function: that's in 
the standard library so you can just remove the crypt library..

If it's something else you may need to hunt around for it. There's a 
/usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib, but I have no idea what it contains..
