Troubleshooting
ld
, clang
, lssl
, or linker
Errors
If you have an error message like:
ld: library not found for -lssl
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1
error: command 'clang' failed with exit status 1
These error messages indicates that there is a problem installing OpenSSL.
This Stack Overflow answer
has specific recommendations on setting the LDFLAGS
and/or CPPFLAGS
environment variables.
Set those prior to running meltano add loader target-postgres
.
