Hey all 👋 Just getting started checking out Meltano; v cool. I’m working through the simple demo on https://meltano.com but keep getting an error running

meltano add loader target-postgres --variant meltano

. This seems to be the error

ld: library not found for -lssl
    clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
    error: command 'clang' failed with exit status 1

Any ideas? Thanks!

which version of Python are you on?

3.7.10.

@kyle_o_sullivan I haven’t seen this error before personally, and 3.7.x should be supported. If you don’t find a solution, it might be worth dropping a new item with the full log output in our issue tracker.

@aaronsteers it’s not super urgent but it would be nice to get this figured out. I’m sure it’s something with my local setup

@kyle_o_sullivan - Are you still seeing this error? And if so, can you let me know which OS you are using? We do have a known issue for the Macbook M1 so let me know if that matches or not to your workstation.

@kyle_o_sullivan Also, can you share the full log output? It looks like some dependency is failing to install, but it's not clear from this snippet which dependency that is.

@douwe_maan - thanks, that’s a great idea! @kyle_o_sullivan - I opened this for tracking: Error `ld: library not found for -lssl` during `target-postgres` install (#2680) · Issues · meltano / Meltano · GitLab If you don’t mind pasting your logs here, that would be a big help in debugging.

Hi @aaronsteers @douwe_maan - I am on a Mac but not M1. I’ll update that ticket with the full log when I get a chance. I suspect the issue is my use of homebrew and pyenv + pipenv. I think the installation is attempting to compile something and because of one factor or another, it can’t find the compiler.

@kyle_o_sullivan I've posted a suggestion in the issue: https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues/2680#note_540359696

ahhh that did it, thank you!

Ah cool, let me know how https://gitlab.com/meltano/tap-gitlab works for you!
