Installation fails on OSX (10.10.4, python 2.7.10)

Trying to install for auto-sklearn - previous installs for auto-sklearn worked fine (HPOlibConfigSpace0.1dev, paramsklearn)
Installing using; "sudo pip install git+https://github.com/automl/HPOlib#egg=HPOlib0.2"

Fails with:

Hi,
I am sorry to tell you that HPOlib will not work on any OSX/MAC system and we neither have the manpower nor the test systems to enable this.

Since auto-sklearn does not require any of HPOlibs functionality to run as a drop-in replacement for scikit-learn, you can try running auto-sklearn without HPOlib. Nevertheless, auto-sklearn requires the runsolver tool and I do not know whether runsolver runs on OSX/MAC.
