Minimserver will not start (LibjliOpenError)
Hello. I have been using MinimServer for some years now, but suddenly it will not start. I have tried uninstalling and installing both MinimServer and Java. Running on Mac Mini M2 Pro, Sequoia 15.5

Current installed java version JDK21:

Matching Java Virtual Machines (1): 21.0.8 (arm64)

(Have also tried JDK24 with same result.)

MinimServer 2.2.R4 (2.2 update 259)

When trying to open the normal way... Always getting the LibjliOpenError message, and server will not start Angry

If i go into the folder applications/minimserver/contents/java/
and doubleclick mserver.jar then the server starts up fine (but some functionality is missing, like show log). But i am able to listen to my music.

If i go into the folder applications/minimserver/contents/MacOS
and doubleclick MinimServer... The server starts up fine, and as far as i have been able to figure out has full functionality. For instance here is the top of the log file it created:

MinimServer 2.2 update 259, Copyright © 2012-2025 Simon Nash. All rights reserved.
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 21.0.8+12-LTS-250)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.8+12-LTS-250, mixed mode, sharing)
Java runtime options: -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
Platform default charset is UTF-8
System platform is macos-arm



It seems to be working, but i need to have the terminal window open... If i close it then the server quits.

Result is the same if i doubleclick ServerLaunchJava

However when i doubleclick mscript, located in applications/minimserver/contents/

This happens:

Last login: Wed Jul 23 05:17:01 on ttys000
/Applications/MinimServer.app/Contents/mscript ; exit;
(censored)Mac-Mini ~ % /Applications/MinimServer.app/Contents/mscript ; exit;
Java is not installed

Saving session...
...copying shared history...
...saving history...truncating history files...
...completed.

[Process completed]


Any tips on how i can get the server to start and fully function the normal way? Huh
