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/

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/[email protected]/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 [email protected]

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

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/[email protected]/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

Me tooo thanks :)

@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!

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 [email protected] you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/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 :(

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

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/[email protected]/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!
