Missing compatible architecture on Apple Silicon & macOS Ventura #481
Description
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 ?

... 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-m1and my MBP's CPU is M1 Max. Thearch -x86_64could run because of Rosetta2.rofl0r commentedon Oct 30, 2022
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_64prefix.Don't know whether there's a fix, but anyway, it's usable.
Note: I'm building this using
--fat-binary-m1.rofl0r commentedon Nov 20, 2022
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

@kingz40o use --fat-binary-m1

@gusechuisheng what's the point of your comments ?
malash commentedon Mar 11, 2023
@pich4ya Thank you, I tried your solution and it does work. cc @rofl0r

我试着用他们的方式编译，直接报错。

M1 + macOS 13.3.1 (22E261) + SIP enabled: all seems ok
longjiahui commentedon Jul 29, 2023
It worked
gavinchou commentedon Sep 16, 2023
Works.

Hello, after I tried to install
proxychains-ngfor the first time and closedcsrutil, 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 commentedon Dec 3, 2023
@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 Prochip andSonoma 14.5operating system, but I ultimately failed.After my search and attempt, I finally used the method here to successfully install Proxychains on my computer🎉.
rofl0r commentedon Jul 2, 2024
did you also try the new --fat-binary-m2 switch ?
zlshames commentedon Jul 12, 2024
So was the
need ''part of a macOS bug? I have someone reporting the following errorfat 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 emptyneedstatement. The odd thing is, this user has the following output foruname -a: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 commentedon Jul 13, 2024
looks definitely like a bug to me. whether it is fixed these days is unknown.

Still not fixed on Apple Silicon

M4芯片参考here完成，具体可看m4 安装 proxychains-ng 问题。

Confirming
--fat-binary-m2(added in v4.17) works perfectly on macOS 26.2 with M4 Max and-arm64e_preview_abienabled:No need for the manual
CFLAGS="-arch arm64e"workaround anymore;--fat-binary-m2handles it cleanly.The remaining issue is that Homebrew's bottle is arm64-only and doesn't pass
--fat-binary-m2, so anyone installing viabrew install proxychains-ngstill gets a broken build on systems with-arm64e_preview_abienabled.If anyone feels up to it, filing a separate issue on homebrew-core for that would be the right move.
