Note, 1.10.39 does work. Maybe this is already fixed.

this was configured with a plain './configure' line.

Thank you for the report. Could you please try the latest devel
version of ngx_openresty on your side? The latest devel version is
1.0.10.39, which can be downloaded here:

Thanks!

If the problem persists, please check that if you have multiple
versions of PCRE installed in your system. It seems that the PCRE
headers and PCRE library files do not match in your system's default
search path. If it's indeed the case, please fix it by explicitly
specify the search paths for headers and libraries, like this:

./configure --with-cc-opt="-I/path/to/pcre/include"

--with-ld-opt="-L/path/to/pcre/lib" ...

Okay, given that 1.0.10.39 works for you, I'm closing this ticket :)

hello,
just to confirm that on an OSX 1.0.10.40 with Homebrew works by doing the following:

With ngx_openresty-1.2.1.14, this issue is occurring again. I followed the recommended steps for pcre and adding to ./configure, but still end up with the following:

... ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [objs/nginx] Error 1 make[1]: *** [build] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2

It is very likely that your PCRE header files and library files do not match.

Please ensure that your PCRE installation is sane. Alternatively you
can build a custom PCRE installation under some locations, like,
/opt/pcre/, or you can just let nginx build the PCRE source for you
via ./configure --with-pcre=/path/to/your/pcre/source/tree.

Best regards,

That was it. Thanks.

Thanks @agentzh, --with-pcre worked for me as well.

Thanks @nkhine.

I was using rvmsudo passenger-install-nginx-module to install nginx on OS X and was getting the same error. Adding the configuration parameters --with-cc-opt="-I/usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.32/include" --with-ld-opt="-L/usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.32/lib" during the customized installation of nginx worked for me too.

thanks @nkhine

I can't believe I have spent entire day on this bug. I have tried all the fixes suggested above,but this error msg. tells me that openresty is not configured properly. -

nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "echo" in /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:45

@laghatea That error message means the ngx_echo module is not included in the nginx server you're trying to start. Because ngx_echo module is enabled in ngx_openresty by default, it is very likely that you're starting the wrong nginx server (maybe you have multiple nginx installations in the same box?).

Note that by default, the nginx executable installed by openresty is located at /usr/local/openresty/nginx/sbin/nginx. You can use the absolute path to start the nginx server.

Hey there are some tips for issues like this.

I use the CONFIGURE to build the openresty:

./configure   --prefix=/usr/local/openresty --with-pcre=/Users/liuyu/learn/nginx/ngx_openresty-1.5.12.1/pcre-8.34  --with-openssl=/Users/liuyu/learn/nginx/ngx_openresty-1.5.12.1/openssl-1.0.1f

And the get the ERROR:

  "_sk_value", referenced from:

      _ngx_ssl_stapling in ngx_event_openssl_stapling.o

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

make[2]: *** [objs/nginx] Error 1

make[1]: *** [build] Error 2

make: *** [all] Error 2

And just use:

export KERNEL_BITS=64

Reinstall !

Done!

Good Luck.

Seems like same error in nginx itself
http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/94
Reason is it takes headers from /usr/local/include/, dylib from /usr/lib

Please read the official documentation for instructions of installing OpenResty on Mac OS X:

http://openresty.org/#Installation

Essentially, it's as simple as

brew install pcre
./configure \
             --with-cc-opt="-I/usr/local/include" \
             --with-ld-opt="-L/usr/local/lib" \
             -j4
make -j4
sudo make install

where we assume that your system has 4 spare CPU cores.

Good luck!

I have installed pcre, and configure command is:

sudo ./configure --with-openssl=bundle/openssl --with-cc-opt="-I/usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.37/include" --with-ld-opt="-L/usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.37/lib"

still return error:

meanwhile it has a warning:

WARNING! If you wish to build 64-bit library, then you have to
invoke './Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc' manually.
You have about 5 seconds to press Ctrl-C to abort.

then I let nginx build the PCRE source,

sudo ./configure --with-openssl=bundle/openssl --with-pcre=bundle/pcre-8.37

return same error.
so sad.

@grasses A quick google search found this solution:

http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,256012,256064#msg-256064

@grasses I've tested on my macbook (Mac OS X 10.10.4) the aforementioned work-around works:

export KERNEL_BITS=64
./configure --with-cc-opt='-I/usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.37/include/' \
       --with-ld-opt='-L/usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.37/lib' \
       --with-openssl=$HOME/work/openssl-1.0.2d -j9
make -j9
sudo make install

BTW, only use sudo for make install otherwise the environments may change.

@grasses It seems that this is a known issue with recent versions of OpenSSL on Mac OS X. And it only happens when you try to use the --with-openssl=PATH option to build OpenSSL from source directly via NGINX's build system (yes, it's not specific to OpenResty, but a general NGINX issue).

I'll incorporate the work-around directly into OpenResty's build system so that the users will no longer have to worry about the details.

Thanks for the report!

@agentzh
It works now!! thanks !!

@grasses Glad it works for you now. You're welcome :)

Check pcre and openssl path by "brew info pcre" and "brew info openssl";

then according to the result, specify the path for both of them in configure command:

./configure --with-cc-opt="-I/usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.37/include -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" --with-ld-opt="-L/usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.37/lib -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"

I had to
export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9
to get the configure script to use the right versions of the libraries.

From the LuaJit project installation page :

Note for OSX: if the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable is not set, then it's forced to 10.4.

@bsyk Thanks for the info. Maybe we should set the environment automatically in OpenResty's build system.

@bsyk Fixed in git master.

when I insert ./configure
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

@lavenkin Seems like you are in the wrong current working directory. Try the following commands (tested on my Macbook Pro):

brew install pcre
wget https://openresty.org/download/ngx_openresty-1.9.7.1rc2.tar.gz
tar -xvf ngx_openresty-1.9.7.1rc2.tar.gz
cd ngx_openresty-1.9.7.1rc2/
./configure --with-cc-opt="-I/usr/local/include" --with-ld-opt="-L/usr/local/lib" -j5
make -j5
sudo make install

I'm using OX EI Capitan 10.11.2, use brew install openssl and pcre, then configure generate error, then using brew link --force openssl(don't know it helps), then compile specify path like follows..

./configure --with-cc-opt='-I/usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.38/include/ -I/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2e_1/include/' --with-ld-opt='-L/usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.38/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2e_1/lib' -j2

then make works fine.
just record this to some newers like me.

@wynelu, I use brew and:
--with-cc-opt="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
--with-ld-opt="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"

@agentzh, Yes It works!

$: ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.38 /usr/local/opt/pcre
works for me
