Hi Jonathan,

This problem is related to Homebrew and Apple [1], and does not seem to be solved yet.

There are alternatives, though. One solution that has been suggested by my colleague Michael is to:

1. Uninstall the homebrew openjdk:

   brew uninstall openjdk --ignore-dependencies
2. Manual install Adoptium Open JDK (11 or later):

    https://adoptium.net:

See [2] for further information.

Hope this helps,

Christian

Basexgui has been crashing for me.

I thought my environment might be messed up, so I uninstalled brew, reinstalled it, and checked my environment.

Then I ran basexgui, and got another crash.
