GraXpert Ariel 2.2.2 won't open in MacOS: missing libSystem.B.dylib

[biodan25]

While Ariel 2.0.2 opens fine on my M1 Mac (Monterey 12.6.9), the new version Ariel 2.2.2 won't open.

I found this error when launching the new version from Terminal:

exit;[18714] Error loading Python lib '/Applications/GraXpert.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python': dlopen: dlopen(/Applications/GraXpert.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python, 0x000A): Symbol not found: (_mkfifoat)
Referenced from: '/Applications/GraXpert_222.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/Python'
Expected in: '/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib'
logout

What MacOS version was 2.2.2 built? In Google searching for libSystem.B.dylib errors, others have had issues too - even while running the Ventana 13.x version. Is Sonoma (14.x) required to run the new 2.2.2 version of GraXpert? (I'm reluctant to upgrade my OS because of some legacy software, but will re-consider if Sonoma is absolutely required).

FYI, A library with the name libSystem.B.dylib does exist on my system, but its in Xcode and users can no longer symlink or copy files into /usr/lib

/System/Volumes/Data/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

Hi, 2.2.2 was built with macOS 13.6, so we can not guarantee GraXpert to run on older macOS versions. Unfortunately, github does not provide older macos runners with apple silicon.

Can you please share steps to build on macos 12?

thank you!
