Resolving missing link to libcrypto openssl on OSX from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38670295/brew-refusing-to-link-openssl

brew update

brew install openssl

ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/

ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/

@vcjuliocesar Did you try downgrading your openSSL as I mentioned in the comment before:

brew uninstall openssl 
brew uninstall openssl
brew install https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb

There are 2 uninstall commands to make sure any OpenSSL v1.1 is removed, and any dead v1.0 is removed, before installing v1.0.

This is working for me!

I got another problem when I uninstall 1.1 after install 1.0.

ruby-2.6.5/lib/ruby/2.6.0/x86_64-darwin17/digest/sha1.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib/libssl.1.1.dylib

so I figure out to install both.

at first, cp the /usr/local/opt/openssl to /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t
then, uninstall 1.0 and reinstall 1.1.

brew uninstall openssl
brew install openssl@1.1

finally, link the old version to /usr/local/opt/openssl with below

ln -sf /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t /usr/local/opt/openssl

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/30fd2b68feb458656c2da2b91e577960b11c42f4/Formula/openssl.rb

ref: https://forums.meteor.com/t/mongodump-cannot-find-openssl-version-on-macos-catalina/50912/3

Currently last command errors with
Error: Calling Installation of openssl from a GitHub commit URL is disabled! Use 'brew extract openssl' to stable tap on GitHub instead.

This worked for me

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl

brew install ./openssl.rb

Thanks @jokumer, your solution works for Catalina 10.15.7:

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/30fd2b68feb458656c2da2b91e577960b11c42f4/Formula/openssl.rb > openssl.rb
brew install ./openssl.rb

brew install ./openssl.rb

This worked for me! Thanks

I forgot that curl thing. Thx for contributing by comment

working homebrew openssl postgres configure (just stuffing keywords for future searchers)

./configure prefix=/tmp/pg --with-openssl --with-libs=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

this command solve my problem on github CI job:
cp /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

Me tooo thanks :)

ANDDDDD... after accidentally upgraded openssl (and brew), this is no longer working for me. somehow.

But I find this working (no need to do the last step - brew switch... )

aisingapore/TagUI#635 (comment)

Great work - but when I try the app (after giving it permission etc) - I get the following error popup:

Unable to load OpenSSL library files: libssl.1.1.dylib and libcrypto.1.1.dylib

If you are using a conda env, simply use

conda install -c bioconda samtools openssl=1.0

thanks

For compilers to find openssl@1.1 you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include"

when you perform this export commands in the terminal above issue got resolved for me.

is there a way to make this work on M1 Macs with BigSur?

Yes please :(

me too! Although I'm using an Intel core desktop with BigSur. I'm hesitant to downgrade.

In M1 chip computers, the installations are placed in /opt/homebrew/opt instead of /usr/local/opt.
So we should use the following:

export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/curl/lib -L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/curl/include -I/user/local/opt/openssl/include"

👍

thanks, it work for me

this command solve my problem on github CI job: cp /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

On M1 seems like I can make to with $ ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl\@1.1/lib/pkgconfig/libcrypto.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcrypto.pc

@elfgoh thanks, this worked for me!

Thank you very much 🙏

for what it's worth, I got through a compile (v2.48) with:

./configure LDFLAGS=-L/opt/homebrew/lib/ CFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/include"

on my M1 mac. Zero symlinks or copying of files!

In case anyone here is trying this on macOS with brew and the toolmise or `asdf , this is what worked for me:

brew install gcc readline zlib curl openssl@1.1 ossp-uuid icu4c pkg-config
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(brew --prefix)/lib/pkgconfig:$(brew --prefix icu4c)/lib/pkgconfig" \
LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix)/lib" \
CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix)/include" \
mise use postgres@17 --verbose
