Incompatible architecture error on macOS 13.5 with proxychains-ng and Ruby

[labolado]

I am experiencing an issue when using proxychains-ng on macOS 13.5 with Ruby. Here are the details:

System Information:

• OS: macOS 13.5
• Architecture: arm64 / apple m2

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install proxychains-ng using Homebrew.
2. Configure the proxy in /opt/homebrew/etc/proxychains.conf.
3. Run the following command:

proxychains4 ruby -v

Expected Result: Ruby version information should be displayed through proxychains4.

Actual Result:

$ csrutil status
System Integrity Protection status: disabled.

$ ruby -v
ruby 3.2.0 (2022-12-25 revision a528908271) [arm64-darwin22]

$ proxychains4 ruby -v
[proxychains] config file found: /opt/homebrew/etc/proxychains.conf

zsh: abort      proxychains4 ruby -v

Interestingly, curl works fine with proxychains4:

$ proxychains4 curl -V

Release-Date: 2024-05-22

Additional Information:

• Proxychains-ng version: 4.17-git-1-gfffd253
• Ruby version: 3.2.0 (2022-12-25 revision a528908271) [arm64-darwin22]

The issue seems to be related to an architecture mismatch with the dynamically linked library /opt/homebrew/lib/libproxychains4.dylib.

Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this architecture compatibility issue?

Thank you!

" CFLAGS="-arch arm64e" LDFLAGS="-arch arm64e" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --bindir=/usr/local/bin --libdir=/usr/local/lib --fat-binary-m1" not work for me.

$ ./proxychains4 curl ip.me
zsh: killed     ./proxychains4 curl ip.me

follow the steps here https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains-ng/issues/481#issuecomment-1455369572 including the command to enable arm64e preview abi.

[rofl0r]

you can also try to replace the configure file with this one: https://0x0.st/Xccz.sh

curl https://0x0.st/Xccz.sh -o configure && chmod +x configure

then ./configure --fat-binary-m2

let me know if it works.

It works, but I cannot set boot-args in recovery mode.

shutdown & long press Power button to recovery mode -> Terminal

csrutil disable

reboot

enable arm64e support

sudo nvram boot-args=-arm64e_preview_abi git clone https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains-ng cd proxychains-ng CFLAGS="-arch arm64e" LDFLAGS="-arch arm64e" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --bindir=/usr/local/bin --libdir=/usr/local/lib --fat-binary-m1 make ./proxychains4 -f /opt/homebrew/etc/proxychains.conf ruby -v ruby 3.2.0 (2022-12-25 revision a528908271) [arm64-darwin22]

[rofl0r]

right. but could you please test the new configure script i uploaded. if it works i'll merge it into master and make the --fat-binary-m2 option available

you can also try to replace the configure file with this one: https://0x0.st/Xccz.sh

curl https://0x0.st/Xccz.sh -o configure && chmod +x configure

It works.
