Ld Library Not Found For Lssl Mac Mysql

Ld: library not found for -lsslclang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)error: command 'clang' failed with exit status 1. As is often the case after some searching I came into the solutionon Stack Overflow.

  1. The ld(1) (clang) that ships with Mac OS X 10.10.1 doesn't understand the -l:libfoo.a syntax that it used to link libboostunittestframework.a.
  2. It is possible that despite LDLIBRARYPATH, a library is not found because of ABI mismatch. Note also that languages (like Perl and Python) and packages may have their own system of libraries (possibly also with.so files), unrelated to LDLIBRARYPATH.
  3. Make sure openssl is installed on Mac via Homebrew. Brew install openssl Install mysql2 gem. This helped me when the gem install kept on errorring out about not being able to find the mysql client. I modified @AnshulRiyal's command a little: On Mojave, High Sierra, or Catalina, using homebrew. Fixed my ld: library not found for -lssl.

This was a build that had been working in the past. Here's output from the link stage. I've included linker output and the relevant portions from the .pro file.

Linking is reporting ld: library not found for -lssl

I added -L/usr/lib to the .pro.

$ ll /usr/lib/libssl*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 212288 May 27 19:24 /usr/lib/libssl.0.9.7.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 335888 May 27 19:24 /usr/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 294016 May 27 19:24 /usr/lib/libssl.46.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 32928 May 27 19:24 /usr/lib/libssl.dylib

Running the build manually (cut & paste) produces the same error.
