MacOS 12.3; Application "Terminal" can't be opened. -1703

Post by was2be »

On M1 MacBook, after updating to MacOS 12.3 today, when I try to run NEURON I get an error "Application "Terminal" can't be opened", with an error code -1703. It's been a while since I opened NEURON, so I'm not 100% sure this morning's update is what did it. I'd like to know how to fix this. Thanks.

I've confirmed that updating to MacOS 12.3 breaks NEURON on an Intel iMac, resulting in the same "Terminal can't be opened" error.

I just upgraded to 12.3 and am experiencing the same issue when double clicking the nrngui or neurondemo icon. I'll try to diagnose and fix this.
Meanwhile, a possible work around is to manually start a terminal window and launch neurondemo or nrngui from there by typing those names into the terminal window.

Have to admit I'm stuck. See: https://github.com/neuronsimulator/nrn/issues/1708
I can see the Terminal via the Finder in /Applications/Utilities
But from a Terminal

Code: Select all

hines@Michaels-MacBook-Pro-2 ~ % ls -al /Applications/Utilities
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   4 root  wheel  128 Mar 16 18:45 .
drwxrwxr-x  18 root  admin  576 Mar 16 20:12 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel    0 Feb 26 02:05 .localized
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel   96 Nov 10 10:58 XQuartz.app

I'm afraid I'm not very knowledgeable about new Mac security arrangements. To move forward, I'm trying to figure out how to start a Terminal from a Terminal.
