      I dug into it a bit and found that in older versions of install.rst, Wes mentioned that XCode 6 had trouble with rpath, so not sure if that's what's going on here for me. I'm on 10.9, I know it's really old, so if these wheels can't be made to run on my ancient OS, I just wanted to report this so the wheels uploaded to PyPI can reflect this incompatibility, if that is indeed the case. I might also try some otool / install_name_tool tomfoolery to see if I can get a workaround for myself.

      Thank you!
