Answer 1

If all you want is pyOpenSSL, you can add the iNinjas Cydia repo and install it from there.

It appears that you don't have a working C compiler installed on your device. This has always been problematic for me until I found the package called "Compile C Apps iOS4". It is in the iBeta section of this repo

After installing that, try to easy_install it again if you want to install it manually.
