Build fails on mac os x 10.13.3 (and Fedora)

[meteopascal]

Below is the full session.
The same errror happens with python 2.7.14 and 3.6.4, both installed by brew.

I've also seen this error reported on fedora at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48511211/pip-installing-pytaglib-error

Sorry guys, turns out I accidentally uploaded a taglib.cpp precompiled for Windows only to PyPI. Can you please check the current version v1.4.3?

[griswolf]

Solved for me by supermihi 3 hours ago. Yay!

Great, so I consider this closed. Sorry again for the inconvenience.

@meteopascal @nbeversl @candh please don't hesitate to reopen if the issue remains.
