[CIG-SHORT] Problem building pylith 2.2.1 from source on macOS

[Brad Aagaard]

Josimar,

h5py is trying to install pkgconfig (a dependency) from an URL via 
https. It isn't clear to me why this is happening. Can you verify that 
you are using the Apple Python and Apple clang compilers? Do you have 
any Python tools installed from sources other than the PyLith installer 
that could be interfering? I can't seem to reproduce this error on my 
machine.

Regards,
Brad
