I searched a lot of related questions, and tried some commands but still canā€™t installļ¼›
Has anyone encountered this situation? How is it solved?

Maybe the steps outlined in this issue on the asdf-erlang GitHub repository can help?

I try modify the kerl fileļ¼Œ and also install wxwidgets@3.0, but still report the above error.

Donā€™t know if this will work for you but this is how I got erlang installed on a clean apple silicon machine running Big Sur:

  • install homebrew
  • brew install autoconf wxmac openssl
  • brew install asdf (then add asdf to .zshrc as per the output of the brew install command)

Then to install erlang:
export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--without-javac --with-ssl=$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1)"
asdf install erlang <version>

@riebeekn @Qqwy Iā€™m truly grateful for your helpļ¼I installed it successfully.

I found the openssl version different.

KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--with-ssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)" asdf install erlang 24.1

This installation command is used openssl@3 failed.

KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--with-ssl=$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1)" asdf install erlang 24.1

this used openssl@1.1 success.
