Steps to Reproduce

1. Try to start the telega server

I have already changed the make version on mac to that of arm architecture but it did not help.

I have the same issue on M2. I see that the issue is marked as closed, though.

I have tried using docker: works fine. But I would prefer to the compiled version.

@xingmungwa , do you have any suggestions how to solve it?

[chuxubank]

@paskn Just use docker pull zevlg/telega-server:latest --platform linux/amd64 as mentioned in #404

If you encounter this issue, check if your brew is set to arm64. It’s quite surprising, but after this problem, I discovered that I had been using the x86_64 brew as the default for an unknown period.

You can verify this by running the following command:

type -a brew

This will reveal that /usr/local/bin/brew is set to x86_64, while /opt/homebrew/bin/brew is set to arm64.

I’m not sure why this happened, but I resolved it by adding the correct brew path to the end of my ~/.zshrc file:

export PATH=“/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH”

Be cautious, as there’s a

(defcustom telega-server-libs-prefix “/usr/local”)

On m1 Mac with tdlib installed via brew, it should be manually set to /opt/homebrew.
