Source: Problem with openssl on macOS
If your ./configure (e.g. for pgbouncer) terminates with the following error despite openssl being installed:

checking for OpenSSL... configure: error: not found

Then, restart it like follows:

./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local/opt/openssl

ssh: ssh a remote host via a bastion

Source: SSH ProxyCommand example: Going through one host to reach another server

In order to reach remote1 through a bastion host, add the following lines in your .ssh/config:

Host bastion
HostName bastion-01.golgoth.com
User jgallinari

Host remote1
HostName remote1.toto.swir
User jgallinari
ProxyCommand ssh jgallinari@bastion -W %h:%p

Then ssh remote1 should do it.

macOS: install Apache2::Request mod_perl module

Sources:

• Compile mod_perl for Apache 2.4 on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite 
• Installing RApache on Mac OS X Snow Leopard 
• Apache libapreq2

Trying to install Apache2::Request on macOS from CPAN will cause multiple errors.

cpan Apache2::Request

First, we will need apxs (Apache Extension tool).
For this, install httpd from homebrew.

brew install httpd

Then, we will need Xcode.
So, install it from the Apple Store.

Then, Apache2::Request install will try to have access to multiple Xcode directories that do not exist.
So, create symbolic links and missing directory.

sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.13.xctoolchain

sudo mkdir -p /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.13.xctoolchain/usr/local/bin/

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/apxs /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.13.xctoolchain/usr/local/bin/apsx

sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.13.Internal.sdk

Then install libapreq2 library.

1. Download libapreq2-2.13. 
2. Compile libapreq2 sources.

tar xvfz libapreq2-2.13.tar.gz
cd libapreq2-2.13
./configure
make
make install

Then install mod_perl 2.

svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/modperl/trunk/ mod_perl-2.0
cd mod_perl-2.0
perl Makefile.PL MP_CCOPTS=-std=gnu89
make
make install

NB: mod_perl.so and mod_apreq2.so will be installed in /usr/local/lib/httpd/modules.

Then update Apache configuration.

vi /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

LoadModule perl_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_perl.so
LoadModule apreq_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_apreq2.so

Option #1 : Terminal > Preferences > Profiles

However, this may cause some issues with e.g. PostgreSQL psql displaying unicode characters, e.g. <e2><94><8c><e2><94><80>.
So, if the issue is only caused by ssh, I prefer option #2:

sudo vi /etc/ssh/ssh_config
