I want to say I’ve run into this before, but it was simply an issue of what directory I was in when running the app from the terminal. That is, it worked when I ran it in the terminal *because* of the directory I was in when I ran it - when I changed to a different directory, such as the one the application was actually in, I got errors that I was then able to fix. It’s been a while since I dealt with it, however, and it was definitely pre Big Sur, so I can’t say for sure. I’ll have to check things on Big Sur.
