Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib (LoadError)

Question

I just discovered I can no longer gem push … any more and some digging led me to a need to update my RVM SSL certs.

I ran rvm osx-ssl-certs status all but that gave me:

/Users/davesag/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p195/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require': dlopen(/Users/davesag/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p195/lib/ruby/2.0.0/x86_64-darwin12.4.0/openssl.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib (LoadError)

rvm -v shows I am running the latest RVM (as of today)

rvm 1.22.15 (stable) by Wayne E. Seguin <wayneeseguin@gmail.com>, Michal Papis <mpapis@gmail.com> [https://rvm.io/]

Oddly I am not sure why it's referring to ruby-2.0.0-p195 however as rvm list gives

rvm rubies

   ruby-1.9.3-p392 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.0.0-p195 [ x86_64 ]
=* ruby-2.0.0-p247 [ x86_64 ]

Any ideas how to fix this?

Uninstalling openssl and re-installing it worked for me.

brew remove openssl

and then

brew install openssl

Upgrading to Mavricks broke openssl for me. This fixed it. – TuK Aug 06 '14 at 18:04
Also worked for for me as well! Same issue... Mavericks broke `openssl`, your advice fixed it! – Jason R. Mick Sep 23 '14 at 04:59
Switched Macbooks at work and going through Mac's migration software, it broke openssl for me. This fixed it for me. – aug Sep 30 '14 at 15:56
Issues related to Mavericks new install seem to be addressed by reinstalling openssl. In my case, after restore from time machine. – Jul 23 '16 at 05:19
removing and then installing fresh worked like a charm. Thank you – Michael Cameron Aug 16 '17 at 03:32
Wouldn't `brew reinstall openssl` do the same? – Fons May 08 '20 at 13:10

Your questions mentions three paths /opt/local, /usr/local and /etc/openssl they belong to Macports, Homebrew and SM Framework respectively.

As the last one is used to build static rubies it is harmeless and not related to the problem. The other two suggest that you have switched from macports to homebrew between installing the rubies.

You need to reinstall ruby-2.0.0-p195 which is referring still the old paths from macports, you can do it with:

rvm reinstall ruby-2.0.0-p195

You can get more details about the rubies and openssl paths they use running:

rvm --debug osx-ssl-certs update all

Thanks - I ended up wiping out all the last relics from macports that were hanging about, upgrading rvm, uninstalling ruby-2.0.0-p195 and reinstalling ruby-2.0.0-p247 and it seems happy now. – Dave Sag Oct 25 '13 at 08:11
Note that the version of ruby here is outdated. – Mike Dec 27 '17 at 16:12

Trying to run 'bundle' I also started getting the openssl dylib complaint, though a slightly different path. I tried most of these, and a few other things. I had rvm, and some broken remnants of a fink install, though I'd tried to replace it with brew a while back. Many times I was getting

Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib

However trying to re-install openssl with brew always produced

sudo brew link openssl
Warning: openssl is keg-only and must be linked with --force
Note that doing so can interfere with building software.

or

Mac OS X already provides this software and installing another version in
parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.

So it was pretty confusing what I should do. What seemed to help in the end, after much trial, included:

$ rm /Users/dan/.rvm/rubies/default/lib/ruby/1.9.1/x86_64-darwin11.4.0/openssl.bundle

which had references to the non-existent /sw/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib file. Then

$ sudo brew update && sudo brew upgrade
$ rvm reset

brought my version up from 1.9.1 to

$ ruby --version
ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-darwin13.0]

At which point I had to re-install bundler (?)

$ gem install bundler

But finally I could run 'bundle' on my project and it seemed to behave.

`sudo brew update && sudo brew upgrade` fixed it for me. thanks! — Guillaume Gendre, Aug 22 '17 at 13:52
I had a similar issue recently with rbenv and just had to do: `rm /Users/Jeff/.rbenv/versions/2.6.3/lib/ruby/2.6.0/x86_64-darwin18/openssl.bundle` and then: `rbenv install 2.6.6` — Jeff Sholl, Nov 25 '20 at 00:10

Homebrew changed its version of Openssl to 1.1 days ago (Homebrew/homebrew-core@0349a7c 25 and Homebrew/homebrew-core@b4b9c1c 10). We can downgrade Openssl to the older version to temporarily fix this issue while waiting for the new rebuild to come (or do it manually):

So I solved like this:

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/30fd2b68feb458656c2da2b91e577960b11c42f4/Formula/openssl.rb

UPDATE

From catalina you could get a message like:

Error: Calling Installation of openssl from a GitHub commit URL is disabled!

In this case I recomend you to go to the URL and download the content into a file (with name openssl.rb). Then you can do:

brew install openssl.rb

All the versions of rubies were working for me and I got a project on ruby 2.6.5. then I got this library not found error for openssl. To solve that, I did

brew update
brew upgrade
brew install openssl

Then all the other versions stop working because it library not found for open ssl. Since I am using chruby for ruby version manager, I remove the version folder and reinstall them and it works.

Tl;dr update and upgrade brew, install openssl and reinstall ruby version

rbenv user here, tried a couple of the solutions above but nothing worked until I uninstalled the version of ruby I had and reinstalled. So:

rbenv uninstall 2.4.3
rbenv install 2.4.3

fixed my issue and I was able to bundle.

In my case it was the Ruby version when bundling:

I did:

rvm list

output:

   ruby-1.9.3-p448 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.0.0-p247 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.0.0-p353 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.0.0-p451 [ x86_64 ]

and then I changed to ruby-2.0.0-p451:

rvm use ruby-2.0.0-p451

and:

bundle

bundle was done successfully ;)

In my case an update with ReactJS + Node env screwed one rails project and after expending a lot of time either reinstalling ruby version via rbenv (was 2.5.1 BTW) and also reinstall openssl via homebrew, bundler reinstall (none of these worked) a simple

brew update && brew upgrade

did the trick!

Never run brew with sudo ! Homebrew does not drop privileges on installation you would be giving all build scripts full access to your system. – Apolo Jun 20 '19 at 07:51

Brew strongly recommends not to use sudo with it as it can harm the system – Moby Khan Nov 12 '19 at 18:18
i don't think brew will allow you to run as `sudo`, it alway stops me – greenhouse Dec 10 '19 at 19:56
