uWSGI can not load libssl.1.0.0.dylib

Question

When I call uwsgi, it always shows the following:

dyld: Library not loaded: libssl.1.0.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/xingshi/anaconda/bin/uwsgi
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

Here is all the libssl.1.0.0.dylib on my Mac:

$ locate libssl.1.0.0.dylib
/Library/PostgreSQL/9.2/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
/Library/PostgreSQL/9.2/pgAdmin3.app/Contents/Frameworks/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
/Users/xingshi/anaconda/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
/Users/xingshi/anaconda/pkgs/openssl-1.0.1c-0/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib

And my uwsgi is in anaconda

$which uwsgi
/Users/xingshi/anaconda/bin/uwsgi

Any ideas ?

Answer 1

MacPorts usually install softwares into /opt/local/, but brew will install softwares into /usr/local/. It seems that my uwsgi is looking for the libssl.1.0.0.dylib in /usr/local/lib, so I use brew to install openssl and relink it:

brew install --upgrade openssl
brew unlink openssl && brew link openssl --force

This seems to have solved a related problem for me. Will it be safe to do this every time I run brew upgrade --all as part of my regular Homebrew/Python maintenance? – Valval

thanks ! this command brew unlink openssl && brew link openssl --force worked! – Lorna

What if this error happens when we want to install Homebrew? Like this problem – Popsicle

getting multiple errors: --upgrade is not an option – Inkle

Answer 2

I performed this:

I have been having this error for a long time and performing

brew uninstall openssl
brew install openssl

did not work for me even including "--force"

However, I found this link to this blog and it did work for me.

http://mithun.co/hacks/library-not-loaded-libcrypto-1-0-0-dylib-issue-in-mac/

Step 1: Install openssl using brew

brew install openssl 

Step 2: Copy copy libssl.1.0.0.dylib and libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib

cd /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.1f/lib  

sudo cp libssl.1.0.0.dylib libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/lib/ 

Note the bold folder name. There will be change in that depending on your openssl version

Step 3: Remove the existing links

sudo rm libssl.dylib libcrypto.dylib 

sudo ln -s libssl.1.0.0.dylib libssl.dylib 

sudo ln -s libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib libcrypto.dylib

I hope this helps!

be careful, I did that and it made things worse. I also tried copying the version from the anaconda path, that didn't work either. – Cesaro

After an eight hour adventure, this worked for me. I did not do step 3, and do not consider this a "final" solution, but it worked. – Pipkin

Answer 3

my error specifically for Mac OSx, was..

user-MacBook-Pro:src user$ uwsgi --enable-threads --ini deploy.ini
dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/uwsgi
  Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6
user-MacBook-Pro:src user$ 

this suddenly started happening, either after upgrading Mac OSx to v10.14.6 or after an extensive installation process playing around with aircrack-ng (i'm not sure which)

but, the following fixed my issue... (help from https://mcmap.net/q/272132/-library-not-loaded-opt-local-lib-libssl-1-0-0-dylib-loaderror)

$ brew update
$ brew upgrade
$ brew install openssl # yielded 'already installed'
$ brew reinstall uwsgi # yielded 'could not symlink' error
$ brew link --overwrite uwsgi

NOTE: uwsgi now works fine, but i still cannot run $ man uwsgi, yields...

user-MacBook-Pro:src user$ man uwsgi
No manual entry for uwsgi
user-MacBook-Pro:src user$

... anyone have any incites to this?
