# Error when mining with MacMiner

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-04-15)

I am super new and I understand none of this. I am using MacMiner (the recent version). I opened up the FPGA/ASIC Miner and I get this error when I try to run it.

How would I fix this? I understand none of this.

[libcurl](https://curl.se/libcurl/) is a library (developed for the command-line "curl" program that can be used to fetch web-pages).

I suspect the most likely way to fix your problem is by updating MacMiner to the latest version and by checking that your computer also has the latest version of the libcurl library (using whatever package manager is appropriate for your computer)

I'm not familar with MacMiner or slushpool but you may also be able to configure MacMiner to use HTTP instead of STRATUM+TCP?
