I am currently trying to install pycrypto and when I execute python setup.py build I receive this following error:

cc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -arch x86_64 -arch i386 -Wl,-F. build/temp.macosx-10.9-intel-2.7/src/_fastmath.o -lgmp -o build/lib.macosx-10.9-intel-2.7/Crypto/PublicKey/_fastmath.so
ld: illegal text-relocation to '___gmp_binvert_limb_table' in /usr/local/lib/libgmp.a(mp_minv_tab.o) from '___gmpn_divexact_1' in /usr/local/lib/libgmp.a(dive_1.o) for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

I've already tried reinstalling the command line tools and removing old instances of Xcode.

Any help would be great thanks

This worked for me. (Should work if you are on Xcode 5.1)

ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future pip install pycrypto
