So, you were doing some updates to OpenSSL using Homebrew and somehow managed to break everything. Now, whenever you try to do bundle install, you're greeted with the following error message:
$ bundle install
/Users/asServer/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': dlopen(/Users/asServer/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/lib/ruby/2.1.0/x86_64-darwin13.0/openssl.bundle, 9): Symbol not found: _SSLv2_client_method (LoadError)
Referenced from: /Users/asServer/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/lib/ruby/2.1.0/x86_64-darwin13.0/openssl.bundle
Expected in: /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
in /Users/asServer/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/lib/ruby/2.1.0/x86_64-darwin13.0/openssl.bundle - /Users/asServer/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/lib/ruby/2.1.0/x86_64-darwin13.0/openssl.bundle
...🔍 Understanding the Issue
This error message indicates that there is a problem with the OpenSSL library that Ruby is trying to load. Specifically, it is unable to find the symbol _SSLv2_client_method. This symbol is expected to be in the libssl.1.0.0.dylib file located at /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/.
🛠️ Let's Get to the Solutions
Fortunately, there are a couple of solutions to this problem:
Solution 1: Reinstall OpenSSL
One way to fix this issue is to reinstall OpenSSL using Homebrew. Open a terminal window and run the following commands:
$ brew update
$ brew uninstall openssl
$ brew install opensslThis will update Homebrew and then uninstall and reinstall OpenSSL. After the installation is complete, try running bundle install again and see if the error persists.
Solution 2: Update Ruby
Another possible solution is to update your Ruby version. Sometimes, the problem can be caused by an older Ruby version not being compatible with the newer OpenSSL library.
To update Ruby using rbenv, you can run the following commands:
$ rbenv install <latest_ruby_version>
$ rbenv global <latest_ruby_version>Replace <latest_ruby_version> with the version number of the latest Ruby release (e.g., 2.7.1). After updating Ruby, try running bundle install again and see if the error is resolved.
