Missing compatible architecture on Apple Silicon & macOS Ventura

[malash]

After upgrading my MBP to macOS Ventura 13.0, proxychains4 fails to run and throws this erorr:

It's weird that error message said have 'x86_64,arm64e', need '', I have no idea why arm64e doesn't work again (see #453 ). My proxychain4 is x86_64 + arm64 and libproxychains4.dylib is x86_64 + arm64e.

A temprary solution to bypass this issue is use arch -x86_64, like arch -x86_64 /opt/homebrew/bin/proxychains4 curl -I https://www.google.com could normally run:

the need '' error message suggests this is a new bug in "ventura". maybe ask apple about it. you can also try to rebuild proxychains-ng with --fat-binary-m1.
what's interesting is that the fat binary "proxychains4" itself runs, but the dylib is considered inappropriate. i take it your MBP is x86_64 ?

[malash]

... is a new bug in "ventura", agree. But I haven't find anyone else reports this issue on Google yet.

My compiling options is ./configure --prefix=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/proxychains-ng/4.16 --sysconfdir=/opt/homebrew/etc --fat-binary-m1 and my MBP's CPU is M1 Max. The arch -x86_64 could run because of Rosetta2.

[rofl0r]

seems like we can't do anything here for the moment until more intel is gathered...

Hi there, I found that different program is using different arch, for example, for curl, the default is working.
but using git, you'll need to specify the arch using arch -x86_64 prefix.

Don't know whether there's a fix, but anyway, it's usable.
Note: I'm building this using --fat-binary-m1.

[rofl0r]

but using git, you'll need to specify the arch using arch -x86_64 prefix.

is git from system or from homebrew ? if the latter, as i highly suspect, then probably homebrew is configured for the wrong architecture and what it produces works accidentally via rosetta.

Thanks @malash , your workaround "arch -x86_64 /opt/homebrew/bin/proxychains4" is also OK for me currently. Hope someone can fix this issue.

Apple Silicon & macOS Monterey 12.3
I have the same problem. from homebrew
"arch -x86_64 /opt/homebrew/bin/proxychains4" is not suitable for me currently.

@kingz40o use --fat-binary-m1

[kingz40o]

@kingz40o use --fat-binary-m1

is good

@gusechuisheng what's the point of your comments ?

[malash]

@pich4ya Thank you, I tried your solution and it does work. cc @rofl0r

[gusechuisheng]

我试着用他们的方式编译，直接报错。

[urugang]

M1 + macOS 13.3.1 (22E261) + SIP enabled: all seems ok

[longjiahui]

It worked

[gavinchou]

CFLAGS="-arch arm64e" LDFLAGS="-arch arm64e" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --bindir=/usr/local/bin --libdir=/usr/local/lib --fat-binary-m1
make

Works.

Hello, after I tried to install proxychains-ng for the first time and closed csrutil, I ran a random command: proxychains4 brew install gedit. But it seems to be missing something, which may not be user-friendly for newbies. Please see:

[rofl0r]

@pengweizhong: the error you're getting is precisely what this thread is about and solutions are presented. as far as "user-friendly" is concerned, the mess presented to us by OS X makes it almost impossible, and proxychains-ng isn't meant to be used by "newbies" anyway - see the big fat warning on top of the README.

I used this method to install Proxychains on my Apple M1 Pro chip and Sonoma 14.5 operating system, but I ultimately failed.

After my search and attempt, I finally used the method here to successfully install Proxychains on my computer🎉.

did you also try the new --fat-binary-m2 switch ?

[zlshames]

So was the need '' part of a macOS bug? I have someone reporting the following error fat file, but missing compatible architecture (have 'x86_64,arm64,arm64e', need '')), and this was the only thread i found that mentioned a similar issue with the empty need statement. The odd thing is, this user has the following output for uname -a:

Darwin xxx-MBP.fios-router.home 22.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 22.6.0: Mon Apr 22 20:50:39 PDT 2024; root:xnu-8796.141.3.705.2~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T8103 arm64

I find it interesting that the architecture shows arm64 when I could have sworn it would be arm64e for all Apple Silicon Macs. They are running the latest Ventura version on an original M1 Mac (SIP disabled)

[rofl0r]

looks definitely like a bug to me. whether it is fixed these days is unknown.
