    I have the following error while installing pycrypto on Mac OS X
    10.6 (via easy_install).<br>

    Why does the installer insist in using SDK for OS X 10.4 ??<br>
    Other easy_installs don't seem to have that restriction !!<br>
    <br>
    My OS X 10.6 system has the following SDKs installed.<br>
    <blockquote><tt>$ ls -l /Developer/SDKs/<br>
        drwxr-xr-x&nbsp; 7 root&nbsp; wheel&nbsp; 238 30 Jun&nbsp; 2009 MacOSX10.5.sdk<br>
        drwxr-xr-x&nbsp; 7 root&nbsp; wheel&nbsp; 238&nbsp; 3 Aug&nbsp; 2009 MacOSX10.6.sdk<br>
      </tt></blockquote>
    <br>
    I have read one solution is to install the SDK 10.4, but that seems
    a bit of a kludge.<br>
    Has anyone got this working with SDK 10.6 ??<br>
    <br>
    Thanks, Brendan.<br>
