Homebrew-core: curl install issue 10.7.5 one or more libs available at link-time are not used at link-time

[bearachute]

Please always follow these steps:

• [x] Confirmed this is a problem with brew installing one, specific Homebrew/homebrew-core formula (not cask or tap) and not every time you run brew? If it's a general brew problem please file this issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/new. If it's a brew cask problem please file this issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/caskroom/homebrew-cask/new. If it's a tap (e.g. Homebrew/homebrew-php) problem please file this issue at the tap.
• [x] Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
• [x] Ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and retried your prior step?
• [x] Ran brew gist-logs <formula> (where <formula> is the name of the formula that failed) and included the output link?
• [x] If brew gist-logs didn't work: ran brew config and brew doctor and included their output with your issue?

To help us debug your issue please explain:

• What you were trying to do (and why)
• What happened (include command output)
• What you expected to happen
• Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew install commands)

working fine: please don't worry and just ignore them. Thanks!

Warning: The system curl on 10.8 and below is often incapable of supporting
modern secure connections & will fail on fetching formulae.

We recommend you:
brew install curl

and no brew gist logs

I don't understand the problem with this, there aren't any config options to make it actually install, at least that I've noticed and short of editing the brew file I don't know else to do.

This is actually kind of sad, because I really need this mac to work, for project reasons and I can't even get curl to work probably, or install or update.

I'm sorry I don't have 2000+ bucks to shell out to get a new mac, Mine is an early 2008 model, it works great otherwise but I'd like to update Ruby, most of everything I've installed otherwise has worked like a charm, but curl is the bane of my existence.

It's also kind of irresponsible, to tell people who are newer or new to macs, or even homebrew that they are SOL and need to just "pony up for a new Mac". Are you buying? I could barely afford this one, and it's 10 years old.

It would just be really nice if this would somehow work, if anyone has any info or has gotten this to work on 10.7.5 please help. It isn't a total dealbreaker but can't do much of anything if the computer refuses to install things.

Thanks

@bearachute Can you see if you can get it to install using https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew ?

[bearachute]

no, tigerbrew isn't any different, accept curl just refuses to even install anything throwing up a curl (35) error, when i try to update curl itself.

==> Installing curl
==> Downloading https://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.50.3.tar.bz2

[ilovezfs]

@bearachute ah, that's because the http mirror from the Homebrew formula hasn't been merged into Tigerbrew yet. You just need to edit the curl formula and add this line to it.

[bearachute]

I added the line, however now i'm getting a sha mismatch whenever I download curl

Error: SHA256 mismatch

To retry an incomplete download, remove the file above.

[ilovezfs]

@bearachute Right, you need to match the same version, or change the sha256. :)

[bearachute]

haha i'm kind of new at this so i don't know exactly what i'm doing, i've tried changing the sha, and it still reports mismatch, do i change the sha in the curl.rb? it seems like when i change it it doesn't reflect what i'm changing

[ilovezfs]

Just replace the whole section at the top with

  url "https://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.55.1.tar.bz2"
  mirror "http://curl.askapache.com/download/curl-7.55.1.tar.bz2"
  sha256 "e5b1a92ed3b0c11f149886458fa063419500819f1610c020d62f25b8e4b16cfb"

[bearachute]

i just did that, ran into the problems with link time libs not available that i had with homebrew, my system must be borked or something?

configure: error: one or more libs available at link-time are not available run-time. Libs used at link-time: -lssl -lcrypto -lssl -lcrypto -lldap -lz

OK, if you replace the top block with

  url "https://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.50.3.tar.bz2"
  mirror "http://curl.askapache.com/download/curl-7.50.3.tar.bz2"
  sha256 "7b7347d976661d02c84a1f4d6daf40dee377efdc45b9e2c77dedb8acf140d8ec"

does it fail the same way?

[bearachute]

ok that time it worked, however it's still showing the old executable and i have the path the right way, if i closed by terminal would it change that?

[ilovezfs]

Hmm... that is interesting.

You'll need to add export PATH=/usr/local/opt/curl/bin:$PATH to your profile.

[ilovezfs]

OK, can you try switching back to Homebrew now?

And try this diff:

i got curl running nicely, now i have another issue but i'll search before i post

thanks a lot for your help

Under Homebrew or Tigerbrew? And which version of curl?

thanks a lot for your help

You're welcome.

[bearachute]

tigerbrew and i believe it's 7.50.3 curl

[ilovezfs]

OK cool. Let me know if you want help getting 7.55.1 working under Homebrew at some point.

The issue with 10.7 compiling curl is that the curl configuration script now, seemingly needlessly, by default adds this to CFLAGS -mmacosx-version-min=10.8
curl configures ok if you run configure as
CFLAGS=-mmacosx-version-min=10.7 ./configure
