Feel free to file a ticket on 
https://gitlab.com/m2crypto/m2crypto/issues , no need to use 
mailing lists for issue tracker, when we have a proper one.  
I work on M2Crypto right now, so I see them immediately.

To your real problem: does --openssl set to /opt/local help? If 
you run

python setup.py clean build --openssl /opt/local

what happens? What is the generated swig line (which version you 
use?), and what are the two compiler lines (one for compilation, 
other for linking)?

I have made so far all my testing with GCC (on Linux, there are 
some users on Mac OS X, so I guess CLang should work as well, 
but I have never tested it myself).

Just to note that this particular piece of code is generated 
completely by swig, I have nothing to do with it.

Where do you actually have err.h? Manually settings CFLAGS and 
LDFLAGS should be followed by seutp.py, it can help as 
a workaround, but my dream is that plain settings of --openssl 
parameter should be sufficient.

Feel free to continue here, on on the issue tracker.
