I had an issue building a gem on my Mac. To build a gem I needed to load an SSL library.

I found the answer right here but not quite like it was described. The answer said that I had to look for a folder

The library was built with homebrew and supposedly was in

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1n/ Notice the weird n at the end?

Another comment said that it almost worked for him except

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1q/

And in my case it was

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1q/

It looked pretty weird for me. Is this a kind of internal versioning system from homebrew?

  • See https://www.openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html That is simply how openssl 1.x is versioned. Basically 1.1.1q is the 17th bug fix release of 1.1.1. It is as if it was 1.1.1.17. – Mark Rotteveel Dec 22 '22 at 15:02
