On 3.11 M1 macbook.

UPDATE: #2805 (comment)

[ITProKyle]

Same issue on an M1 Pro Macbook Pro running macOS 14.0.

[gaborbernat]

Seems the current config picks 1.1 openssl if installed, and gets confused.

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl@1.1
env CONFIGURE_OPTS='--enable-optimizations' pyenv install 3.12.0
brew install openssl@1.1

Works as a workaround.

I had a comparable issue on a 2019 Intel Macbook Pro on MacOS 14.0! @gaborbernat 's suggestion fixed it. Thank you! :)
I had the error below, different module, same fix

Same issue here (M1 Mac, 13.3.1), @gaborbernat's suggestion also fixed it.

This is log from my machine (macOS 13.6, Apple M1)

I'm using pyenv, installed directly from git, not from homebrew.

Same error here on macOS Sonoma 14.0, Apple M1 ... suggestion above fixes it!

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl@1.1
env CONFIGURE_OPTS='--enable-optimizations' pyenv install 3.12.0
brew install openssl@1.1

[anton-petrov]

Good to have this lines in your bashrc or zshrc

export CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix)/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix)/lib"

Also, run brew link openssl@3

Good to have this lines in your bashrc or zshrc

export CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix)/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix)/lib"

Also, run brew link openssl@3

I had remaining path in CPPFLAGS & LDFLAGS pointing to openssl@1.1 in my env, so even if pyenv reported using openssl@3, the compiler used the wrong one...
After updating them accordingly, it works like a charm 🙂

Thanks @anton-petrov
