The reason that openssl is not linked is that MacOS already has LibreSSL. It would be good to build PostgreSQL with LibreSSL on OS X, as LibreSSL is really more secure, but then again, PostgreSQL on OS X should be only for development purposes. You may have heard about the heartbleed attack - LibreSSL is a fork of OpenSSL with older ciphers removed.
One thing you can do is to place openssl in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl@3/lib export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl@3/lib If you need it beyond Terminal, then this should force it: brew link openssl On Tue, Apr 12, 2022 at 6:34 AM cecile rougnaux <[email protected]> wrote: > My system is OS Mojave 10.14.6, I got homebrew from this command : > > /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL > https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" > > > when I try to install postgresql with the command > > brew install postgresql > > > I have this error: > > Error: An exception occurred within a child process: > RuntimeError: /usr/local/opt/[email protected] not present or broken > Please reinstall [email protected].
