Persistent "libcrypto loading in an unsafe way" Error with Ruby on Rails on macOS

[sparsh9]

Hello,

I am using a 2017 MacBook Pro with an Intel chip, running Ruby version 2.7.8, Rails 5.2.6, and OpenSSL 1.1. I've installed Ruby using rbenv and ruby-build.

I am persistently receiving the following error when trying to create a database with Rails:

WARNING: /Users/logan/.rbenv/versions/2.7.8/bin/ruby is loading libcrypto in an unsafe way
zsh: abort bundle exec bin/rails db:create

Steps I have taken to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Installed OpenSSL via Homebrew and ensured that the version is 1.1.
2. Uninstalled and reinstalled Ruby with rbenv, specifying the correct OpenSSL directory.
3. Set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the path where Homebrew installed the OpenSSL libraries before running the Ruby process.

Hello, I do not understand this warning message, but it sounds like this is a runtime problem rather than rbenv problem.

This reddit user says “upgrade your eth gem”— I don't know what this gem is, but you could potentially try this? Good luck!

yeah, it got resolved. @mislav
