Error installing PyCrypto on Mac 10.9.5

i'm trying to install PyCrypto for Python 3.4 but i'm having problem with the C compiled programs. it says that "error: cannot run C compiled program". anyone have an idea how to fix it??

code:

running build
running build_py
running build_ext
running build_configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables... 
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/Users/briansabbath/Desktop/pycrypto-2.6.1':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details

This might indicate that you did not install C compiler likes gcc. Run the following command might help (command line tool must be installed in xcode):

xcode-select --install

The method that worked for me

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

You can run it in a virtualenv. If you have a better way please leave a comment below!
