This looks like the ubiquitous libtool error with MacOS 11 issue.... see 5500 other similar reports. There is a patch in the libtool port that is pretty simple to implement that will probably fix this for you.

So, yes, libtool.

similar error for M1 Monterey:

Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:

"_str_rtrim", referenced from:

_nutscan_scan_usb in libnutscan_la-scan_usb.o

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

[vespasian99]

also fails M1 Ventura

nut: patch libtool bug, use add_users

See: #61598

Replying to jmroot:

Can you please elaborate? How to patch the libtool bug?

[johyphenel (Jo-el van Bergen)]

Should this be fixed at for the current download retrieved by $ sudo port install nut on Mac OS13?

Today I installed using that command, and get a very similar error for running nut-scanner:

$ nut-scanner
dyld[1814]: symbol not found in flat namespace '_str_rtrim'
Abort trap: 6
