error when installing paramiko openssl

[Ivansek]

When installing paramiko with pip I get the following error:

build/temp.macosx-10.10-x86_64-2.7/_openssl.c:423:10: fatal error: 'openssl/opensslv.h' file not found

#include <openssl/opensslv.h>

         ^

I installed openssl with $ brew install openssl. This installed openssl-1.0.2g.

Since OSX 10.11 Apple provides own libraries for ssl and you need to set some environment variables before reinstalling paramiko to tell system to use OpenSSL:

$ export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
$ export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
$ pip install paramiko
