I have used brew install openssl to download and install openssl v1.0.2f, however, it comes back saying:

A CA file has been bootstrapped using c         


        

Answer 1

I reached this page when I searched for information about openssl being keg-only. I believe I have understood the reason why Homebrew is taking this action now. My solution may work for you:

• Use the following command to make the new openssl command available (assuming you have adjusted PATH to put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin): ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/openssl /usr/local/bin/

• When compiling with openssl, follow Homebrew's advice and use -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib

• Alternatively, you can make these settings permanent by putting the following lines in your .bash_profile or .bashrc: export CPATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl/include export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
