Python build FAILED (OS X 10.14.6 using python-build 20180424)

Hello. When I install by bundled_installer, bundled_installer fails to install Python with the following error.

The following message is output to the logfile.

Python build finished successfully!
The necessary bits to build these optional modules were not found:
_dbm                  _gdbm                 _hashlib           
_sqlite3              _ssl                  _uuid

zlib                                                           
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.


The following modules found by detect_modules() in setup.py, have been
built by the Makefile instead, as configured by the Setup files:
_abc                  atexit                pwd                
time                                                           

Could not build the ssl module!
Python requires an OpenSSL 1.0.2 or 1.1 compatible libssl with X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host().
LibreSSL 2.6.4 and earlier do not provide the necessary APIs, https://github.com/libressl-portable/portable/issues/381

I want to know how to install python successfully.

@KeisukeFujioka

Thanks for contacting us about this issue. In our readme we have a section on troubleshooting. I see you're using OSX, so could you attempt the solution in the docs? Specifically the following:

brew install zlib openssl readline CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include -I$(brew --prefix readline)/include -I$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include" LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib -L$(brew --prefix readline)/lib -L$(brew --prefix zlib)/lib"

Once you are done trying that then attempt to run the installer again. If you are still having trouble do let me know what error you are running into.

[allenbkim]

I am also on OSX and was receiving this error even though I had zlib installed. I was able to get past this by setting the following:

CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix zlib)/include"

Careful not to overwrite any other values in CPPFLAGS that are already set.

[KeisukeFujioka]

@ChaseAllbee @allenbkim Thank you for answering. I will try these solution. I will tell result.

[OnlyJoe33]

Running the following seems to work for me:

1. (Re)Install CLT. (copy all the lines) installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target /
2. brew update
3. brew install pyenv

[cbodtorf]

None of these solutions seemed to work for me. Same OSX version as original issue: 10.14.6

[Dartv]

Using pyenv directly to install python 3.7.2 worked for me

[joben]

I have the same issue as @KeisukeFujioka

I already tried setting the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS as suggested but same results.

[coffemanfp]

I have the same problem and i have Ubuntu

[ariestav]

@KeisukeFujioka

could you attempt the solution in the docs? Specifically the following:

brew install zlib openssl readline CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include -I$(brew --prefix readline)/include -I$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include" LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib -L$(brew --prefix readline)/lib -L$(brew --prefix zlib)/lib"

Once you are done trying that then attempt to run the installer again. If you are still having trouble do let me know what error you are running into.

I love how you assume users have installed brew to work with the Elastic Beanstalk CLI scripts. Sorry, it's bad practice to ask the user to install yet another dependency for troubleshooting. I don't want to install brew on my machine, and so what do you suggest? I'm running into the same issues as @KeisukeFujioka on macOS Catalina 10.15.2

The logs are so convoluted and now, after failing who knows if my machine is littered with files that are unnecessary. For macOS, just make an installer!

I think the confusion is in the setting of CFLAGS

If I do the following in a shell, I am able to get things working, but the way the docs express it, it does not work.

From the cloned repo dir:

brew install zlib openssl readline && \
CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include -I$(brew --prefix readline)/include -I$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include" LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib -L$(brew --prefix readline)/lib -L$(brew --prefix zlib)/lib" ./scripts/bundled_installer

[fernandosouza]

Thank you @ressom. That worked for me.

[David2913]

In case the above solutions did not work for someone, this is what worked for me: After installing using: brew install zlib openssl readline I set an additional flag: CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)" The complete command to install the cli was: CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include -I$(brew --prefix readline)/include -I$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include" LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib -L$(brew --prefix readline)/lib -L$(brew --prefix zlib)/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix zlib)/include" CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)" ./scripts/bundled_installer

[VG2000]

Hi. I am having the same issue and have tried everything discussed above. My system Python is 3.7.6. Any ideas please? Thanks

============================================== I. Installing Python

---

1. Determining whether pyenv is already installed and in PATH

---

- pyenv found in PATH. Won't clone pyenv git repository from GitHub

---

2. Temporarily export necessary pyenv paths

---

---

3. Checking whether Python can be downloaded (through curl, wget, or aria2c)

---

---

4. Installing Python 3.7.2. This step may take a few minutes

I have the exact same issue.

[ohaponiuk]

Omg I tried literally everything written here and on pyenv wiki and it still doesn't work. I merely need python 3.4.7. I have last version of macOS for now (10.15.4). OpenSSL is definitely installed.

ERROR: The Python ssl extension was not compiled. Missing the OpenSSL lib?

Please consult to the Wiki page to fix the problem.

I think the confusion is in the setting of CFLAGS

If I do the following in a shell, I am able to get things working, but the way the docs express it, it does not work.

From the cloned repo dir:

brew install zlib openssl readline && \
CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include -I$(brew --prefix readline)/include -I$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include" LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib -L$(brew --prefix readline)/lib -L$(brew --prefix zlib)/lib" ./scripts/bundled_installer

Thanks, worked perfectly for me :)

[boyeatssteak]

I had this issue on Mojave 10.14.6, and even though I'd previously installed Xcode Command Line Tools, I downloaded "Command Line Tools for Xcode 11" from developers.apple.com, installed that, and was able to resolve this issue.

[blackhaj]

Using pyenv directly to install python 3.7.2 worked for me

Thanks @Dartv - this was the only solution that worked for me. Once I had installed pyenv manually and then installed python 3.7.2, the rest of the installation went through without issue

I have macOS 10.15.7 with default python 2.7 and i run the command above from @ressom and worked for me. Now i have Python 3.7.2 and eb works after the following additions for zsh command line:

~ for python

echo 'export PATH=/Users/<yourUsernameHere>/.pyenv/versions/3.7.2/bin:$PATH' >> /Users/<yourUsernameHere>/.zshrc && source /Users/<yourUsernameHere>/.zshrc

Nothing on this thread worked. But I found this, copy in the command line: brew install awsebcli
