+## pycurl problems
+
+Sometimes after installing and importing PyCURL you will see the following error message:
+```
+pycurl: libcurl link-time ssl backend (openssl) is different from compile-time ssl backend (none/other)
+```
+To correct this you need to uninstall PyCURL and reinstall it correctly:
+```
+pip uninstall pycurl
+export PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=<ssl_lib>
+pip install pycurl --global-option="--with-<ssl_lib>"
+```
+`<ssl_lib>` can be `openssl` or `nss` depending on your system.

 ## Make dependencies right
