I recently ran composer update and this is the error I get:

  • namshi/jose 5.0.2 requires lib-openssl * -> the requested linked library openssl has the wrong version installed or is missing from your system, make sure to have the extension providing it

.

I am using MAMP. How may I get this fixed ? I tried upgrading the openssl version on my mac as some stack overflow answers said , but no luck

which openssl

shows

/usr/local/bin/openssl


openssl version

shows

OpenSSL 1.0.2h  3 May 2016

  • Which version of PHP are you running? – l'L'l May 27 '16 at 01:55
  • phpinfo says 5.6.10 – harveyslash May 27 '16 at 01:58
  • Well it looks like you've got the right versions, although you now should check to make sure PHP has the OpenSSL module/extension installed so it can interface with it. – l'L'l May 27 '16 at 02:07
  • when I go to php info, the version is different. under the CURL section, this is one of the rows: SSL Version OpenSSL/0.9.8zd – harveyslash May 27 '16 at 02:08
  • Ah okay, then it sounds like your mamp isn't linked up to the newer version. In that case you'll probably want to look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4262006/how-to-use-mamps-version-of-php-instead-of-the-default-on-osx. or you still need to install something for OpenSSL... – l'L'l May 27 '16 at 02:14
  • This question dealt with a similar problem as yours, although they seemed to have an older version of PHP as well: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37322446/laravel-composer-install-could-not-solve-installable-package-for-tymon-jwt-auth – l'L'l May 27 '16 at 02:17
  • phpmamp --help says command not found after alias phpmamp='/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.6.10/bin/php' – harveyslash May 27 '16 at 02:19
  • It's actually `/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.(your version)/bin/php`... Look in `/Applications/MAMP/bin/...` – l'L'l May 27 '16 at 02:20

The final conclusion was to UNINSTALL MAMP , and then install apache,mysql and php using brew (it took me less than 5 minutes to set up all three). Then installation of 3rd party packages(including openssl) was a breeze.

Overall it took me 10 minutes, and I would say its worth it.
