Hi all, I’m new to J and am trying to install J9.4 on my M1 Macbook (arm64) with macOS 13.3.1.
I used the zip from the wiki page [1] and followed all the steps under macOS. After that, I tried to follow the steps under „Finnish Installation“, but when I start jconsole, I get the error „ill-formed number: boot“ and loading pacman is not possible. Clicking on jqt.app seems to crash jqt immediately. Simple expressions inside the console get evaluated, however: % ./jconsole |ill-formed number: boot | dm=. 0 2 320 1280 2 720 243.247 244.273 | ^ | android_getdisplaymetrics=:3 :0 |[-201] /Users/nils/J/j9.4/system/main/stdlib.ijs load 'pacman' |value error: load | load’pacman' 1 + 1 2 <: 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3 Am I doing it wrong or is this a problem with J on arm64 macOS? Installation on Windows 10 on amd64 with winget worked without any problems. I also did not find the matching source code for this release, or any release at all, so I could not try to compile J from source.
