Why does Raku crash with 'Abort trap: 6' while using Cro on a MacOS Catalina?

Question

I'm using macOS Catalina and trying to execute a simple command raku -e "use Cro::HTTP::Route". I will get a message [1] 19228 abort raku in the Zsh shell or Abort trap: 6 in the Bash shell. I face the same issue when using an OpenSSL module like raku -e "use OpenSSL::Stack".

Answer 1

It happens because of the OpenSSL module cannot find OpenSSL_version_num function in libssl.dylib in the default paths and crashes.

To fix it you need to install openssl through brew and make a link for libssl.dylib library:

brew install openssl
ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.dylib /usr/local/lib/
