Unable to compile it on a MacBook Pro M1

I'm having issues compiling erlkaf on a macOS Ventura 13.6.1:

$ mix deps.compile erlkaf
=ERROR REPORT==== 28-Feb-2024::17:31:13.767352 ===
beam/beam_load.c(190): Error loading module rebar3_hex_owner:
  This BEAM file was compiled for a later version of the runtime system than the current (Erlang/OTP 25).
  To fix this, please re-compile this module with an Erlang/OTP 25 compiler.
  (Use of opcode 182; this emulator supports only up to 180.)

Errors may have been logged above. You can recompile this dependency with "mix deps.compile erlkaf --force", update it with "mix deps.update erlkaf" or clean it with "mix deps.clean erlkaf"

I'm compiling it through Elixir's Mix. It breaks and I don't have much of a clue on how to tackle this. Any help is highly appreciated.

Versions:

• Erlang 25.3.2.3 (asdf)
• Elixir 1.15.4-otp-25 (asdf)
• erlkaf 2.1.4

I'm using myself same OS but my mac is MacBook Pro from 2019 and I have no issue.

Some other user reported a similar openssl issue in the past but I couldn't figure out the issue as the user stopped responding: #57.

Maybe updating to last librdkafka and switch to openssl 3.0 instead 1.1 might fix your problem.

@silviucpp good to hear that you use macOS too.

I read most of #57 before opening this one, I believe the problem is quite similar, but not sure it's the same. I'm back to it this morning, and after deleting my global rebar3 config and trying to rebuild it, I got the following info:

I see this Undefined symbols error at line 15 and I'm wondering: could it be that concurrentqueue is being built with an inappropriate C compiler? I'm not familiar with C/C++ tooling, but if this error happens in macOS only, it might be some incompatibility with stock macOS compilers.

---

FYI, my previous rebar3.config had nothing more than two plugins in it:

{plugins, [{rebar3_hex, "7.0.7"}, {rebar3_lfe, "0.4.0"}]}.

I added rebar3_hex when I had the first error, but still I had no luck finishing compilation.

[silviucpp]

The undefined symbol is part of openssl _SSL_get_peer_certificate. Has nothing to do with concurrentqueue. As the error says as well: _rd_kafka_transport_ssl_handshake from librdkafka it's using that function.

I have a feling that for some reason the compiler is trying to use the openssl 3.x not 1.1
