Fails to install on mac

I was able to install nim fine. brew install nim but nimble install min resulted in

Build failed for 'min@0.43.0', would you like to try installing 'min@#head' (latest unstable)? [y/N]

Uhm that's weird. I was able to build the executable for macOS and also rebuild it myself on my Mac.

Could you:

• try to see if the prebuilt macOS executable runs on your machine?
• try to clone the min repository and run nimble build from the root folder?

That error seems to be related to the OpenSSL/crypto library, which I pre-build for win/mac/linux and it is supposed to be linked statically when building min. I am wondering if for some reason when running nimble@ install it is not finding the prebuilt libcrypto.a file and pointing to something else (a different version of OpenSSL maybe).

What version of macOS are you using? Also the architecture is x64, it seems, right?

macOS Big Sur 11.7.8 2.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 x64 I am able to use the prebuilt binary, I'll investigate some more, probably on my side then.
