common.sh fails to install PyCrypto on Ubuntu 16.04 and OSX 10.11.5

On Ubuntu 16.04:

Sourced as: './scripts/common.sh'
Ensuring runtime folder /root/coursebuilder_resources_1_11_x/runtime
Using GAE SDK 1.9.40 from /root/coursebuilder_resources_1_11_x/runtime/google_appengine
Installing PyCrypto (This needs to be compiled so it matches
   your operating system)
Building PyCrypto

Compilation error building pycrypto-2.6.1. Please ensure a C
compiler is installed and functional on your system. On OS X, the most likely
cause of this problem is that you don't have the XCode Command Line Tools
installed. To fix this, run

  $ xcode-select --install

and follow the instructions that appear, then re-run this command.

Note: unzip is not provided by default on Ubuntu, but there isn't any robust error handling arround that.

On OSX 10.11.5:

Sourced as: './scripts/common.sh'
Ensuring runtime folder /Users/jmealo/coursebuilder_resources_1_11_x/runtime
Using GAE SDK 1.9.40 from /Users/jmealo/coursebuilder_resources_1_11_x/runtime/google_appengine

error: must supply either home or prefix/exec-prefix -- not both

Note: The error falls through here.

Hi, on Ubuntu 16.04:
sudo apt install python-pip
sudo pip install pycrypto
And it has worked for me on my Ubuntu 16.04!

Hi! After too much research I've tried:
sudo apt-get install python-dev

And then:

cd /YOUR_HOME_DIR/coursebuilder_resources_1_11_001/runtime/pycrypto-2.6.1
python setup.py build

Please look at: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/course-builder-forum/Qdp7oigdyms/TR41UTJHAwAJ
It worked for me.
