openssl library is not being recognized after installation

[jafrank09]

Hello, I'm attempting to start armory on my macbook air, running Sonoma 14.6.1, and it's not recognizing my openSSL install.

I have tried to install and reinstall openssl several times, using both the current and legacy versions, but Armory doesn't seem to find it. I keep getting the following error:

dyld[1012]: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib Referenced from: <323F5F65-13A0-3067-9591-6432083EE72E> /Applications/Armory.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python Reason: tried: '/Applications/armory.app/Contents/MacOs/../Dependencies/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/Applications/armory.app/Contents/MacOs/../Frameworks/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache), '/Applications/armory.app/Contents/MacOs/../Dependencies/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/Applications/armory.app/Contents/MacOs/../Frameworks/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1i/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1i/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1i/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache) [1] 1012 abort ./Armory
Any suggestions on how I can resolve this?

Hey,

Sorry I'm not versed in OSX, @droark was graciously maintaining that build system. I don't know how to help you here. What I can tell you is that it's not Armory looking for openssl per se, as it doesn't link to it, but Qt4.

The most straight forward way to test this is to start python from the terminal and try to import pyqt4. In this instance, pyqt4 is trying to load the openssl dynamic library through the python import logic and failing to find the file.

Maybe you can try to copy the library in folder from which you start python and see if pyqt4 imports successfully.

You should be able to resolve this is the same as you would for any Linux variant.

On Mac, I have not had good luck with Homebrew installing to or creating symlinks in the common paths.

Once you install OpenSSL 1.1, find where it installed the dylib files. There are two that you need, libssl and libcrypto.

sudo find / -name "libssl.1.*.dylib"

Once you find where that file is, you can either copy it to the Armory.app/Contents/Dependencies folder or put a symlink to it in /usr/local/lib

Then you do the same for libcrypto which would be in the same folder where you found libssl but you can search for it the same way just in case.

sudo find / -name "libcrypto.1.*.dylib"

I got lucky on my Mac and found an old app that had those dependencies in it so I was able to just copy those two files into the Armory.app instead of having to install the full openssl package.
