OpenSSL which means that you will not be able to build the ``_ssl`` extension.
One solution is to install these libraries from a third-party package
manager, like Homebrew_ or MacPorts_, and then add the appropriate paths
for the header and library files to your ``configure`` command. For example,
for the header and library files to your ``configure`` command.

with **Homebrew**::
For example, with **Homebrew**, install the dependencies::

$ brew install pkg-config openssl@1.1 xz gdbm tcl-tk

Then, for Python 3.10 and newer, run ``configure``::

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(brew --prefix tcl-tk)/lib/pkgconfig" \
