I followed the note but still doesn't work. I'm using macOS v10.14.4.

> ~/Code  echo $LDFLAGS

-I/usr/local/opt/zlib/include

@Rokt33r, try brew install zlib prior to exporting the flags.

[Rokt33r]

It didn't work for me...:cry:

> brew install zlib
Error: /usr/local/opt/zlib is not a valid keg

[rahulrajaram]

I think /usr/local/opt/zlib might be a broken directory. Try brew unlink zlib and then retry. Otherwise, you might have to manually remove /usr/local/opt/zlib.

[Rokt33r]

I remove zlib and install it again. Then I'm seeing another error...

Looks like openssl is missing as well. Can you retry following a brew install openssl?

[Rokt33r]

I'm still getting the same error...

It seems like openssl is already installed in my machine. So I ran brew reinstall openssl again. But nothing is changed.

[rahulrajaram]

This is a standard openssl installation problem on OS X. From the looks of it, it sounds like a linkage issue just as it was with zlib. Some openssl issues are discussed here.

[Rokt33r]

Hmm... Do you know where the link should exist? Seems like most of answer is making a link in /usr/local/bin/openssl. So I've tried but I've kept getting the same error.

> ls /usr/local/bin/openssl
/usr/local/bin/openssl

Should I make the link in other place?

[rahulrajaram]

Try:

brew link --force openssl

This should tell you what to link. I see an instruction to export LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS, but you have to be careful to include not only openssl but also zlib.

[Rokt33r]

I tried but it is not working still...

This should tell you what to link. I see an instruction to export LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS, but you have to be careful to include not only openssl but also zlib.

How can I include both openssl and zlib?

I set LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS to ~/.zshrc like below.

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/zlib/lib -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/zlib/include -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"

And I also executed brew link --force openssl before running installer script.

@Rokt33r I also had the zlib error but I was simply able to run brew install awsebcli and it works now (from here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/eb-cli3-install-osx.html)

[Rokt33r]

@ursulac Thanks. But I think we need to deal with this problem, because this project is supposed to replace brew install awsebcli. https://github.com/aws/aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup#43-on-macos-or-linux-systems-with-brew-is-this-better-than-brew-install-awsebcli
