OS X installation?

Might just be me but it's been stuck for a while, anyone experiencing this?

~/GitHub/cabinet/auto-sklearn $ python setup.py install

Hi,
this error seems to occur when building the runsolver. The runsolver is an integral part of auto-sklearn and limits the time and memory usage when running a machine learning algorithm.

I'm not sure if the runsolver would work with OS X. You download it from here and try to build it to see if that causes the error. Nevertheless, we cannot test auto-sklearn on OS X and therefore cannot support it.

I see, will test it myself and let you know if it's working for me, maybe opening a PR for OS X instruction! 😄 👍

Please try installing the package from pip. We dumped the runsolver now and it should be possible to install auto-sklearn on a MAC.

I have added OSX testing in #179 which confirms that auto-sklearn works on a MAC.
