9168 :: Building Nim + Nimble on Ubuntu 22, "could not import: SSL_get_peer_certificate"

  Hello, Following the instructions on https://nim-lang.org/install_unix.html , I compiled and installed Nim 1.6.6 in Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy on an AMD64 machine. All seemed well, but when I run nimble --version I get the following error:

  could not import: SSL_get_peer_certificate

  nim --version runs as expected, and I can compile Nim programs.

  This is what I tried:

  1. Building and installing OpenSSL1.1. - No change.
  2. Prepending .3| to https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/d584dd5b99f4c1e32477db2dfb791d52b0139df1/lib/wrappers/openssl.nim#L78 and rebuilding and re-installing Nim per instructions. - No change.

  Running openssl version shows OpenSSL 3.0.2 15 Mar 2022 (Library: OpenSSL 3.0.2 15 Mar 2022).

  What is the next thing I should try? What was wrong with what I did? (Neither security nor Debian architecture is my field, so I may have missed something obvious.)

  You could try:

  1. annoying way: use LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or rpath setting of the compiler to set the path to the OpenSSL 1.1 library. A lot of fun. ;)
  2. Use choosenim, download and install OpenSSL 1.1 as suggested here: https://old.reddit.com/r/nim/comments/ut76aj/nim_openssl3/i9d4l18/ At least we know that it works. :)

  In my opinion, the second way is easier if you want to play with Nim.

  Nim 1.6.6 does not support OpenSSL 3. See https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/19604

  Thank you, @thindil; the Reddit path worked. For completeness:

  1. wget http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1l-1ubuntu1.3_amd64.deb
  2. sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1l-1ubuntu1.3_amd64.deb
  3. Install normally. choosenim is by no means required; I just rebuilt from source using the link in the OP.
  4. sudo reboot now
  5. nimble --version

  nimble v0.13.1 compiled at 2022-05-10 00:36:48

  git hash: couldn't determine git hash

  1.6.10 should fix OpenSSL 3. You can try the RC2 version, see: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/9614
