i was previously trying to make a new rails backend for an app. when i tried to cd into the app, terminal stated: rvm install "ruby-2.6.5"

when i tried to install that, i got an error:

Error running '__rvm_make -j8',

so, i am trying to switch to another app that was previously working that has rails as the backend.

i have two ruby versions installed: 2.3.7 and 2.6.1 - 2.6.1 is the current version.

i'm trying to run the rails server, and when i do - the following error in the terminal is what i get:

  • At a glance, you need to `brew install` openssl and postgresql and then reinstall the pg gem. – anothermh Jan 24 '20 at 22:26
  • thanks! didn't work though ;( both openssl and postgresql were reinstalled and then i installed the pg gem. – cynthia7117 Jan 24 '20 at 22:36
  • How did you reinstall pg? Did you gem uninstall/gem install, or did you gem uninstall and then bundle install? It should be done through bundle install. – anothermh Jan 24 '20 at 22:55
  • thank you!!! yup, bundle install worked. if you have time/don't mind, could you please explain the terminal errors and how you knew what to do? – cynthia7117 Jan 24 '20 at 23:28
  • `gem uninstall`/`gem install` deals with global gems, `bundle install` deals with installing and referencing gems for your specific app. Looking at the last line of your file, it says that there is a problem with `pg-1.1.4` indicating something wrong with referencing the correct `pg` gem. – Matthew Jan 25 '20 at 02:21
  • @cynthia7117 It's the last three lines: `pg-1.1.4/lib/pg_ext.bundle` can't load `libssl.1.0.0.dylib`. So you install OpenSSL to make `libssl.1.0.0.dylib` available, then you uninstall pg and reinstall it so it compiles with the currently installed version of OpenSSL, and you do the pg installation via `bundle install` so you know the correct version of pg required by your application gets installed. – anothermh Jan 25 '20 at 04:40
  • See similar discussion at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59006602/dyld-library-not-loaded-usr-local-opt-openssl-lib-libssl-1-0-0-dylib/60068011#60068011 which led me to find a solution. – Greg Feb 05 '20 at 02:01

In case someone else runs into this error like I just did, here's what worked for me:

ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.dylib /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.1.dylib /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib

After that everything ran fine. I'm guessing the library is referencing some old dylib file and is OK with the newer one installed on your system.

    Genius! Your solution worked like a charm, Many thanks! I would like to know how you reached this solution. I mean why I'm just a copy paster of such solutions :) What should I read to be able to find such solutions even they are not available on SO. – Ramesh Pareek Oct 14 '20 at 16:26

    Dirty. Works until something will be missing in the lib `dyld: Symbol not found: _SSL_library_init` – A.D. Oct 17 '20 at 13:43

For me I had to

brew uninstall postgres
brew install postgres

gem uninstall pg
bundle install

For me, just installing appropriate version of openssl worked.

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

    Calling Non-checksummed download of openssl formula file from an arbitrary URL is disabled! Use 'brew extract' or 'brew create' and 'brew tap-new' to create a formula file in a tap on GitHub instead. – AlxVallejo Oct 30 '20 at 12:39

    You can't brew install directly from GitHub as noted by @AlxVallejo - follow the instructions here to install using this method - https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/issues/1#issuecomment-701530062 – D W Nov 17 '20 at 13:45

For version openssl@3

you can try this

brew reinstall openssl@3

and then

brew unlink openssl@3 && brew link openssl@3

I have openssl1.1 installed on my system, but the rails is somehow using the old reference i.e /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib (LoadError) but this doesn't exist on my Mojave 14.

I tried the below solutions but no luck:

  1. brew switch openssl 1.0.2t (Error: Unknown command: switch)
  2. reintalling openssl
  3. downgrade the version of openssl to 1.0
  4. Reintalling rvm and ruby

Finally, below solution works:

cp /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.1.dylib /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
cp /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.1.dylib /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib

Just copy the new openssl link to the old ones

In my case (macOS 12.6.5, ruby 2.0.0), I have to upgrade my ruby version to 3.0.0 to make the openssl compatible. After upgrade, I can run gem update/install without issue.

Regarding the ruby version, I referred to this post on GitHub.
