How to resolve "dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path.." error
PythonVirtualenvDyldExecutable PathPython Problem Overview
I was trying to check the AWS-CLI version on my MAC OS X. And the below error hit back:
dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../.Python
Referenced from: /usr/local/aws/bin/python
Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6
Any relevant inputs on how to fix this would be highly appreciated.
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
It is a bug with awscli and it might be fixed with the next versions. That's why, a best practices is to upgrade :
brew upgrade awscli
Solution 2 - Python
You must have messed up with the brew. Try reinstalling it using: brew install awscli
(followed by brew link awscli
if needed).
Solution 3 - Python
After read the topic, It works for me:
- Uninstall aws
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/aws
$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/aws
- Reinstall it again
$ brew reinstall awscli
Solution 4 - Python
This error occurs because your virtual environment has broken symlinks.
Here is a nice solution taken from tevino's fix_virtualenv
gist:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
ENV_PATH="$(dirname "$(dirname "$(which pip)")")"
SYSTEM_VIRTUALENV="$(which -a virtualenv|tail -1)"
BAD_ENV_PATHS="/usr/local"
echo "Ensure the root of the broken virtualenv:"
echo " $ENV_PATH"
if [[ -z "$ENV_PATH" ]] || [[ "$ENV_PATH" = *"$BAD_ENV_PATHS"* ]]; then
echo "The root path above doesn't seems to be a valid one."
echo "Please make sure you ACTIVATED the broken virtualenv."
echo "‼️ Exiting for your safety... (thanks @laymonk for reporting this)"
exit 1
fi
read -p "‼️ Press Enter if you are not sure (y/N) " -n 1 -r
echo
if [[ $REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then
echo "♻️ Removing old symbolic links......"
find "$ENV_PATH" -type l -delete -print
echo "💫 Creating new symbolic links......"
$SYSTEM_VIRTUALENV "$ENV_PATH"
echo "🎉 Done!"
fi

Solution 5 - Python
I had similar issue while installing awscli with homebrew on mac. So final approach was "brew uninstall python3" and reinstall awscli again.
Solution 6 - Python
If you have already python (python --version works. If not install it with brew install python). It works for me:
-
Uninstall aws
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/aws $ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/aws
-
Install it again
$ curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip" $ unzip awscli-bundle.zip $ sudo ./awscli-bundle/install -i /usr/local/aws -b /usr/local/bin/aws
Solution 7 - Python
I had it installed through curl, the regular way
$ curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip"
Then it stopped working complaining about not finding python2.7
dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../.Python
Referenced from: /usr/local/aws/bin/python2.7
Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6
so I fixed it by following these steps (make sure you don't do this if you installed it through brew
):
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/aws
$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/aws
Then I installed it using brew:
$ brew upgrade
$ brew install awscli
Solution 8 - Python
It's possible to trigger this error by having a problem in your virtualenv. For example, I had an existing working virtualenv and ran brew install awscli
and it broke my virtualenv with this error. If that's the case, deleting and recreating your virtualenv (the same way you originally created it) should resolve the problem. It did for me.
Solution 9 - Python
I tried all the above solutions and nothing worked
then I tried this from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/v1/userguide/install-macos.html and it worked :
sudo /usr/local/bin/python3.7 awscli-bundle/install -i /usr/local/aws -b /usr/local/bin/aws
Solution 10 - Python
This work for me.
brew upgrade
brew uninstall aws-sam-cli
brew install aws-sam-cli
Solution 11 - Python
If:
- you reinstalled/relinked awscli
- and are experiencing this issue while you work on a Python Poetry virtual env
Then just delete the env like:
# MacOS paths
rm -rf /Users/<user>/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/<your_virtual_env_name>
To get the name and path of the env you can do:
poetry shell
There will be an error similar to this:
EnvCommandError
Command ['/Users/<user>/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/<your_virtual_env_name>/bin/python', '-W', 'ignore', '-'] ...
Copy the env path, do rm -rf <path>
and after that do poetry shell
Solution 12 - Python
If you installed AWS CLI via curl according to AWS' official instructions at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html, simply rerunning these commands without any prior deletions solved it for me:
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.pkg" -o "AWSCLIV2.pkg"
sudo installer -pkg ./AWSCLIV2.pkg -target /
