activegraph and MacOS < 10.15 compatibility #1610

Closed mstrofbass closed 4 years ago

mstrofbass commented 4 years ago

I was trying to upgrade to Neo4j 4.0 and first tried to upgrade to activegraph. When starting the rails server I got an error saying that libseabolt is required.

I attempted to follow the instructions for installing the latest libseabolt release, but libseabolt requires openssl 1.0, which has been EOL'd in Homebrew and deleted.

So I tried to compile libseabolt from source using openssl 1.1.1, but libseabolt uses a function that's not available until MacOS 10.15.

As far as I can tell, the simplest solution is to build OpenSSL 1.0 from source. This seems like a lot of work to get a ruby gem to work, however.

Is there some other option I am missing?

@mstrofbass have you tried using the prebuilt package https://github.com/neo4j-drivers/seabolt/releases ?

mstrofbass commented 4 years ago

@klobuczek yes, the pre-built packages are what require OpenSSL 1.0.

and this fails as well?

brew install michael-simons/homebrew-seabolt/seabolt
mstrofbass commented 4 years ago

No, that works fine and appears to fix the issue. Thanks

I admit the documentation is far from perfect but it is there https://github.com/neo4jrb/neo4j-ruby-driver/blob/master/README.md

I think adding this to the upgrade guide on the read the docs site would be beneficial.
