asdf-postgres: configure: error: library 'crypto' is required for OpenSSL

Trying to install this on macOS 12.3 Beta 2. Getting the following:

configure: error: library 'crypto' is required for OpenSSL

Note, I have ran brew install gcc readline zlib curl ossp-uuid as well as also trying brew install openssl

asdf v0.9.0

Today I also hit this error and definining environmental variable HOMEBREW_PREFIX to /opt/homebrew fixed it for me. Maybe brew is supposed to define that variable but it is missing now on Apple Silicon?

Ok, think I got it.

brew install openssl
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/bin:$PATH"
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/include"

Why is this different on my machine I wonder vs everyone else on the team who does not have these issues.

This situation is still not perfect. Even though HOMEBREW_PREFIX was set to the correct path on my new macbook (running Ventura 13.0.1), I still had to follow the steps from @smashedtoatoms’ comment above for it to find crypto.

Fully replacing the LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS works ‘fine’ for installing this particular asdf command right now, as long as you close the shell afterwards. If you want to install other programs you might need other extensions to library paths. So you might prefer e.g.

brew install openssl
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/bin:$PATH"
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib $LDFLAGS"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/include $CPPFLAGS"
asdf install postgres 15.4 # <- or whatever version you want

instead.

Sorry all, my Github notifications are failing. I updated the readme to capture this. Thanks, @tino415 for figuring it out and @timriley for confirming it.

smashedtoatoms on Jul 7, 2022

Completely fresh macOS (12.13.1) and Homebrew install here, and along with the necessary brew install gcc readline zlib curl ossp-uuid step from the README, @tino415’s HOMEBREW_PREFIX=/opt/homebrew is what fixed postgres installation for me.

timriley on May 10, 2022

May be worth looking at asdf-ruby. They seem to install openssl every time I do a new version install. Or it may be ruby-build doing it.

scottrobertson on Feb 16, 2022

Also, I love that you’re using this in place of docker. That is literally why I originally did it. Let me know how I can help.

smashedtoatoms on Feb 9, 2022

Let me know if it causes problems and I’ll get it sorted. It’s definitely easier to track down if it happens more often or if I can make it happen directly.

smashedtoatoms on Feb 9, 2022

I am going to keep this issue open as a signpost. If I get some time, I will bang on it some more. I tried to compile openssl alongside this at one point to just install my own openssl so it would quit happening, but that has its own sets of challenges. I tried to just download binaries, but then people complained they couldn’t set options. Leaving both in inevitably leads to someone setting their own options and running into this. It’s pretty frustrating.
