macOS: dlopen(_rust.abi3.so): symbol not found '_BIO_ADDR_free'

Author: yudukikun5120Created Jul 9, 2026Updated Jul 9, 2026

Summary

When running BabelDOC installed via uv tool, translation fails before any API request is sent.

The error occurs while loading cryptography:

dlopen(.../cryptography/hazmat/bindings/_rust.abi3.so):
symbol not found in flat namespace '_BIO_ADDR_free'

openai translate call count: 0, so the failure happens before the translation backend is contacted.

Environment

  • OS: macOS 26.5.2 (Build 25F84)
  • Architecture: arm64 (Apple Silicon)
  • BabelDOC: 0.6.3
  • Installation: uv tool install babeldoc
  • uv: 0.7.20
  • Python: 3.12.8
  • cryptography (inside BabelDOC environment): 49.0.0
  • OpenSSL inside BabelDOC:
    OpenSSL 3.0.11 19 Sep 2023
  • openssl version:
    LibreSSL 3.3.6
  • System Python SSL:
    OpenSSL 3.0.15 3 Sep 2024

Command

bash
babeldoc \
  --openai \
  --openai-model deepseek-chat \
  --openai-base-url https://api.deepseek.com/v1 \
  --files <input.pdf>

The same error occurs before any API request is made.

Expected behavior

Translation should start normally.

Actual behavior

The program exits immediately with:

dlopen(.../cryptography/hazmat/bindings/_rust.abi3.so):
symbol not found in flat namespace '_BIO_ADDR_free'

The log also reports:

openai translate call count: 0

so no translation request is ever sent.

Full log

I'll attach the complete log if needed.
