Be advised that if you re using nodejs there s  at the time of writing  a dependency on libssl 1 0   - so installing an alternative SSL library will break your nodejs installation   An alternative solution to installing a different SSL library is that posted in this answer here  https   stackoverflow com a 59927568 13564342 to instead install libcurl4-gnutls-dev  sudo apt install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

I had this issue on Mac and it was related to the openssl package being an older version of what it was required by pycurl  pycurl can use other ssl libraries rather than openssl as per my understanding of it  Verify which ssl library you re using and update as it is very likely to fix the issue   I fixed this by    running brew upgrade downloaded the latest pycurl-x y z tar gz from http   pycurl io  extracted the package above and change directory into it ran python setup py --with-openssl install as openssl is the library I have installed  If you re ssl library is either gnutls or nss then will have to use --with-gnutls or --with-nss accordingly  You ll be able to find more installation info in their github repository

I encountered the same problem whilst trying to get Shinken 2 0 3 to fire up on Ubuntu  Eventually I did a full uninstall then reinstalled Shinken with pip -v  As it cleaned up  it mentioned      Warning  missing python-pycurl lib  you MUST install it before launch the shinken daemons   Installed that with apt-get  and all the brokers fired up as expected  -
