Bruce,
The user who made the log file is on IRC, handle englishman. I just pinged him
about it. I have no info at all about the fellow who added the instruction to
point openssl requests at Homebrew's libopenssl.
I just remembered a third case that's probably the same problem:
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799195 complained that it took 15
minutes to install the F::Q dependencies and the attempt ultimately failed
because SSLeay failed its unit tests.
macOS is macOS. They don't change anything for the hardware, not even the
build: Everything in the OS is universal binaries with x86_64 snd arm64. It's
possible that Xcode/command-line tools adds stuff to
/System/Library/Perl/Extras, but the user said he has both installed. I've
asked him about what year MBA and what version of macOS. Perhaps there's a clue
there.
Regards,
John Ralls
