dyld: Symbol not found: _syslog$DARWIN_EXTSN: mongoDb

Question

I have just installed mongoDb in my macOs Sierra version 10.12.6 with command brew install [email protected] and start the service using command brew services start [email protected].

I got message "Successfully started mongodb-community (label: homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-commu", after which I run the command mongod and I got error message:

Macs-MacBook-Pro:~ mac$ mongod
dyld: Symbol not found: _syslog$DARWIN_EXTSN
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/mongod (which was built for Mac OS X 10.13)
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
 in /usr/local/bin/mongod
Abort trap: 6

I thought it's happening because of older version of my macOs so, after this I have install and tried with the following but got same error

brew install [email protected]
brew install [email protected] and
brew install [email protected]

but got same error message:

Macs-MacBook-Pro:~ mac$ mongod
dyld: Symbol not found: _syslog$DARWIN_EXTSN
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/mongod (which was built for Mac OS X 10.13)
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
 in /usr/local/bin/mongod
Abort trap: 6

What can I try to overcome this?

Answer 1

Check Mongodb macOs installation instructions, it stated that MongoDB 4.4 Community Edition supports macOS 10.13 or later and this was also stated in the error message you got. I would recommend you install version 4.2
