Following along the nRF52 guide.

I installed the board defs, but when I try to compile the blink sketch I get:
Error loading Python lib '/var/folders/dn/zh_6s5tn6ln_dn3fy1f2q_nc0000gq/T/_MEI6TTJhO/Python': dlopen(/var/folders/dn/zh_6s5tn6ln_dn3fy1f2q_nc0000gq/T/_MEI6TTJhO/Python, 10): Symbol not found: _getentropy

I am running into the same problem as you on my Macbook pro El Capitan. However, I am able to make the blinking example work on my Windows. Did you ever figure out your problem? Thanks :).
