Homebrew formula working after missing autoconf dependency, running xcode-select --install, adding autoconf.sh. Make issue remains but closer: https://gist.github.com/mikesparr/5609e549cf30726facc3

UPDATE: now working and permissions issue copying to site-packages/ directory owned by root:wheel. Install doesn't seem to work without higher-level permissions so I had to change owner for the folder to get install to work (without moving brew to root and using sudo).

gcc: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)

I get this error when I run 'make'

any idea of why this might be happening?

-------update-------
my bad, not enough memory on my machine. If you get this error just boost your memory.

Thanks a lot for posting there instructions!

I followed your instructions in librets_install.txt and am getting an import error when trying to import librets...any ideas?
I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.4 x64

Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13) 
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import librets
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named librets

To help others here that have had issues, if you use a different environment for your python libs (e.g. a virtualenv), after you do sudo make install enter the environment you wish the library to be available in and cd to build/swig/python. Once there, run python setup.py install

Kind of annoying to deal with I know, but it works.

@corvuscrypto Thank you so much for that comment. I spent hours trying to figure out why librets wouldn't import in virtualenv. Then I read your comment and made it work.

For anyone else coming across this. This is what I did:

1. Enter virtualenv
2. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, and I had to go to the folder at /tmp/libRETS-1.6.1/build/swig/python3
3. Run python setup.py install

I can confirm this still works for Python 3.6.9

Thanks again!
