I am trying to install Siege with libssl on Mac OS 10.12, but when I use the utility against an https url I am receiving the following error.
[error] HTTPS requires libssl: Unable to reach https://example.com/
with this protocol: Socket is already connected
I am installing with the following commands from this wiki:
./configure --with-ssl
make
make install
This is on macOS Mojave, with openssl installed using HomeBrew. You'll be using a brew command to get the openssl install directory:
git clone https://github.com/JoeDog/siege.git
cd siege
./utils/bootstrap
# here's what you're looking for:
./configure --with-ssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)
make
Now you can run siege with ./src/siege https://whatever.domain.invalid. This was tested with Siege 4.0.4rc3 commit hash 05dcfac88ecdd57bd94276e4ce82477cba9129b6 and openssl 1.0.2s on macOS 10.14.5.
use brew to install siege.
it fixed the issue for me. the only extra thing i had to do was to link siege.
https://coderwall.com/p/qfrk1w/making-siege-work-with-https-on-os-x-mavericks .
brew uninstall siege
brew install openssl
brew link --force openssl
brew install siege
The extra steps ti had to do (Mac OS Sierra low) .
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/siege/4.0.4/bin/siege /usr/local/bin/siege .

I Installed SIEGE 4.0.4
I install from source
I install this too :D :
brew install openssl
brew install zlib
But im getting this error:
[error] HTTPS requires libssl: Unable to reach sitename.tld with this protocol: Socket is already connected
Installing through brew worked for me:
brew install siege
You might also need to set up flags as described:
If you need to have openssl first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
For compilers to find openssl you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
Note: this was suggested in this answer, but I can't mark it as duplicate because it hasn't been accepted.
I'm on: OSX 10.11.6, Homebrew version 0.9.9m OpenSSL 0.9.8zg 14 July 2015
I'm trying to play with with dotnetcore and by following their instructions,
I've upgraded/installed the latest version of openssl:
> brew install openssl
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/openssl-1.0.2h_1.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz
Already downloaded: /Users/administrator/Library/Caches/Homebrew/openssl-1.0.2h_1.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz
==> Pouring openssl-1.0.2h_1.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz
==> Caveats
A CA file has been bootstrapped using certificates from the system
keychain. To add additional certificates, place .pem files in
/usr/local/etc/openssl/certs
and run
/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/c_rehash
This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local.
Apple has deprecated use of OpenSSL in favor of its own TLS and crypto libraries
Generally there are no consequences of this for you. If you build your
own software and it requires this formula, you'll need to add to your
build variables:
LDFLAGS: -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
But when I try to link openssl I continue to run into this linking error:
> brew link --force openssl
Warning: Refusing to link: openssl
Linking keg-only OpenSSL means you may end up linking against the insecure,
deprecated system version while using the headers from the Homebrew version.
Instead, pass the full include/library paths to your compiler e.g.:
-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
The option to include compiler flags doesn't make sense to me, since I'm not compiling these libraries that I'm dependent on.
EDIT dotnetcore has updated their instructions:
brew update
brew install openssl
ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/
This is what worked for me:
brew update
brew install openssl
ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2j/bin/openssl /usr/local/bin/openssl
Thanks to #dorlandode on this thread https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/597
NB: I only used this as a temporary fix until I could spend time correctly installing Openssl again from scratch. As I remember I spent best part of a day debugging and having issues before I realised the best way was to manually install the certs I needed one by one. Please read the link in #bouke's comment before attempting this.
As the update to the other answer suggests, the workaround of installing the old openssl101 brew will no longer work. For a right-now workaround, see this comment on dotnet/cli#3964.
The most relevant part of the issue copied here:
I looked into the other option that was suggested for setting the rpath on the library. I think the following is a better solution that will only effect this specific library.
sudo install_name_tool -add_rpath /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib /usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/1.0.0/System.Security.Cryptography.Native.dylib
and/or if you have NETCore 1.0.1 installed perform the same command for 1.0.1 as well:
sudo install_name_tool -add_rpath /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib /usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/1.0.1/System.Security.Cryptography.Native.dylib
In effect, rather than telling the operating system to always use the homebrew version of SSL and potentially causing something to break, we're telling dotnet how to find the correct library.
Also importantly, it looks like Microsoft are aware of the issue and and have both a) a somewhat immediate plan to mitigate as well as b) a long-term solution (probaby bundling OpenSSL with dotnet).
Another thing to note: /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib is where the brew is linked by default:
13:22 $ ls -l /usr/local/opt/openssl
lrwxr-xr-x 1 ben admin 26 May 15 14:22 /usr/local/opt/openssl -> ../Cellar/openssl/1.0.2h_1
If for whatever reason you install the brew and link it in a different location, then that path is the one you should use as an rpath.
Once you've update the rpath of the System.Security.Cryptography.Native.dylib libray, you'll need to restart your interactive session (i.e., close your console and start another one).
None of these solutions worked for me on OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. Probably because OS X has a native version of openssl that it believes is superior, and as such, does not like tampering.
So, I took the high road and started fresh...
Manually install and symlink
cd /usr/local/src
If you're getting "No such file or directory", make it:
cd /usr/local && mkdir src && cd src
Download openssl:
curl --remote-name https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2h.tar.gz
Extract and cd in:
tar -xzvf openssl-1.0.2h.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.2h
Compile and install:
./configure darwin64-x86_64-cc --prefix=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.2h shared
make depend
make
make install
Now symlink OS X's openssl to your new and updated openssl:
ln -s /usr/local/openssl-1.0.2h/bin/openssl /usr/local/bin/openssl
Close terminal, open a new session, and verify OS X is using your new openssl:
openssl version -a
Just execute brew info openssland read the information where it says:
If you need to have this software first in your PATH run: echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
If migrating your mac breaks homebrew:
I migrated my mac, and it unlinked all my homebrew installs - including OpenSSL. This broke gem install, which is how I first noticed the problem and started trying to repair this.
After a million solutions (when migrating to OSX Sierra - 10.12.5), the solution ended up being comically simple:
brew reinstall ruby
brew reinstall openssl
Edit much later: as Gal Bracha noted in the comments, you ?might? need to delete /usr/local/opt/openssl before doing the reinstalls, just to be safe. I didn't need to at the time, but if you're still having trouble, give that a try.
After trying everything I could find and nothing worked, I just tried this:
touch ~/.bash_profile; open ~/.bash_profile
Inside the file added this line.
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2j/bin/openssl"
now it works :)
Jorns-iMac:~ jorn$ openssl version -a
OpenSSL 1.0.2j 26 Sep 2016
built on: reproducible build, date unspecified
//blah blah
OPENSSLDIR: "/usr/local/etc/openssl"
Jorns-iMac:~ jorn$ which openssl
/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/openssl
The solution above from edwardthesecond worked for me too on Sierra
brew install openssl
cd /usr/local/include
ln -s ../opt/openssl/include/openssl
./configure && make
Other steps I did before were:
installing openssl via brew
brew install openssl
adding openssl to the path as suggested by homebrew
brew info openssl
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
I have a similar case. I need to install openssl via brew and then use pip to install mitmproxy. I get the same complaint from brew link --force. Following is the solution I reached: (without force link by brew)
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig
pip install mitmproxy
This does not address the question straightforwardly. I leave the one-liner in case anyone uses pip and requires the openssl lib.
Note: the /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib paths are obtained by brew info openssl
This worked for me:
brew install openssl
cd /usr/local/include
ln -s ../opt/openssl/include/openssl .
By default, homebrew gave me OpenSSL version 1.1 and I was looking for version 1.0 instead. This worked for me.
To install version 1.0:
brew install https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb
Then I tried to symlink my way through it but it gave me the following error:
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t/include/openssl /usr/bin/openssl
ln: /usr/bin/openssl: Operation not permitted
Finally linked openssl to point to 1.0 version using brew switch command:
brew switch openssl 1.0.2t
Cleaning /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t
Opt link created for /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t
I had the same problem while trying to install newer version of ruby 2.6.5
https://github.com/kelaberetiv/TagUI/issues/86 helps me to solve the problem. This if for macOS catalina Version 10.15.1
Basically, I did update and upgrade homebrew and install openssl and install ruby.
brew update && brew upgrade
brew install openssl
Then create these 2 symlinks
ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/
then installed ruby 2.6.5
Note: this no longer works due to https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/612
I had the same problem today. I uninstalled (unbrewed??) openssl 1.0.2 and installed 1.0.1 also with homebrew. Dotnet new/restore/run then worked fine.
Install openssl 101:
brew install homebrew/versions/openssl101
Linking:
brew link --force homebrew/versions/openssl101
for me this is what worked...
I edited the ./bash_profile and added below command
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"
export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1087 http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1087 all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
works for me
and I think it can solve all the problems like
Failed to connect to raw.githubusercontent.com port 443: Connection refused
The solution might be updating some tools.
Here's my scenario from 2020 with Ruby and Python:
I needed to install Python 3 on Mac and things escalated. In the end, updating homebrew, node and python lead to the problem with openssl. I did not have openssl 1.0 anymore, so I couldn't "brew switch" to it.
So what was still trying to use that old 1.0 version?
It tuned out it was Ruby 2.5.5.
So I just installed Ruby 2.5.8 and removed the old one.
Other things you can try if this is not enough: Use rbenv and pyenv. Clean up gems and formulas. Update homebrew, node, yarn. Upgrade bundler. Make sure your .bash_profile (or equivalent) is set up according to each tool's instructions. Reopen the terminal.

I tried installing CouchDB 1.6 via Homebrew per the instructions on the official CouchDB docs at docs.couchdb.org, but I am having no success. First, I tried the native application and that worked but apparently that version does not support CORS. It has been a frustrating experience, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Here is the error that I am getting when trying to ping CouchDB:

My guess is that it is installed, but just not running. Can you try running couchdb -d?
That should start it up in the background, if you need it to run on every startup, you can continue following the instructions for "Running as a Daemon"
I am using Homebrew v0.9.5 on my Mac OS X version 10.9.4

I have added --disable-openmp option, it also doesn't go well.
$ brew install imagemagick --disable-openmp
brew doctor command result has no problem.
$ brew doctor
Your system is ready to brew.
Have you tried a
$ brew update
$ brew install imagemagick --disable-openmp --build-from-source
Apparently that seemed to fix it for me on Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion). Previously I checked out the latest imagemagick brew recipe with "brew versions imagemagick" and "git checkout e68e443", see here and here
I'm not certain whether the source of my problem was the same as the OP's, however (though this has an accepted answer already) I'll post this in case this solution works for others.
Using brew install imagemagick, I would encounter the following error:
curl: (52) Empty reply from server Error: Failed to download resource
"libpng" Download failed:
https://downloads.sf.net/project/libpng/libpng16/1.6.16/libpng-1.6.16.tar.xz
Which is similar, if less specific than the OP's message.
As it turned out, I already had a previous version of libpng installed (version 1.5.7). I then ran:
brew upgrade libpng
Followed by another brew install libpng, and this time it succeeded, as it now had the correct version needed.
This problem also occurs because https://downloads.sf.net/project/libpng/libpng16/1.6.16/libpng-1.6.16.tar.xz has a badly configured SSL certificate. Open the link in your browser and see if your browser complains.
If that's the case, you can manually download the file to /Library/Caches/Homebrew and run again.

For me it was upgrading to El Capitan. I found the simplest solution was to force remove homebrew:
sudo ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
then to re-install it:
sudo /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
then install imageMajick:
brew install ImageMagick
Depending on your setup you may not want to sudo. For me, its fine. Enjoy a snack while you manipulate images.
In my case the url was simply not correct, with which homebrew wanted to download the required file. I looked it up here http://sourceforge.net/projects/libpng/files/libpng16/older-releases/1.6.16/ by myself and copied it to /Library/Caches/Homebrew like #Dan suggested.
I then run brew install libpng again and it worked.
Follow this:
brew install imagemagick#6
Add below lines in to ~/.bash_profile file
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/imagemagick#6/lib" export
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/imagemagick#6/include" export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/imagemagick#6/lib/pkgconfig"
Install Rmagick
source ~/.bash_profile
gem install rmagick
If you are an Anaconda/Miniconda user on Mac OSX or Linux, you can install packages like imagemagick using conda.
