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

[Brad Aagaard]

Josimar,

Are you not able to use the openssl libraries in /usr/lib?

When you tried using --enable-openssl with the PyLith installer, what 
didn't work?

Note: When we use --enable-openssl, we are building the binary which 
means that we build *everything* from the compiler on up, which ensures 
that the openssl libraries we build are used rather than the system 
openssl libraries.

Thanks,
Brad
