Cannot install pycurl on Mac OS X - get errors 1 and 2

Question

I am attempting to install pycurl-7.19.0 on my Mac OSX 10.8.4.

The error I get when compiling:

py setup.py install

The results:

Using curl-config (libcurl 7.24.0)

This works for me on OSX 10.9

sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" easy_install setuptools pycurl==7.19.0
