Steps to reproduce

I don't think this is reproducable on other systems.

Issue submission checklist

• I report the issue, it's not a question
• I checked the problem with documentation, FAQ, open issues, forum.opencv.org, Stack Overflow, etc and have not found any solution

The library is needed for FFmpeg.

The library is needed for FFmpeg.

Can you use 4.6 ?

[asmorkalov]

Fixed in 4.7.0.70

[BeteAF]

pip install opencv-python==4.6.0.66
I am using macOS Big Sur 11.5. I tried with 4.7.0.72, but doesn't work, then I tried 4.6.0.66 and it worked

[Thoughtyness]

On macOS BigSur 11.7.10, 4.8.1.78 works, but the next version I can install, 4.9.0.80, reproduces this error.

[asmorkalov]

OpenCV team uses Github Action provided VMs for Mac OS build and Brew packages for dependencies. The last release was done for MasOS 11 x86_64 and MacOS 12 arm64 due to dependencies reason. I'll take a look if we can decrease requirements for the next release, but probability is low.

I have the same issue on Mac OS Big Sur version 11.7.10

[kaustubh2024]

I have the same error on Mac Big Sur 11.7.10.

Exact error is this:

If you find a solution let me know. I got exactly the same
