Well, it is definitely puzzling. The session I reported initially was on
my MacBook Air.
So, just now on my iMac, I downloaded
http://www.jsoftware.com/download/j803/install/j803_mac64.zip
Then, in a finder window, I click-unzipped it in my Downloads folder,
and clicked on the jcon icon in ~/Downloads/j64-803. That started a
terminal window and gave the following results -

Library: 8.03.09
Platform: Darwin 64
Installer: J803 install
InstallPath: /users/jkt/downloads/j64-803
exit 0
logout
[Process completed]
I dragged the jcon icon to the launch bar and now from there I can
single click and get the same result as above.
This does show me that I should update the 803 on my MacBook Air because
doesn't have the current Library or Engine build (I guess I didn't
update it from the Beta). But even though I will have to use pacman to
get applications, it seems to work just fine even just sitting in the
Downloads folder (or on a thumb drive) but I will put it in my
/Applications folder and make an alias so that in Terminal I can launch
it with a very shorthand note, just -

Has something perhaps corrupted your downloaded files?

Since it is so quick to get a fresh copy from Jsoftware.com, maybe you
should wipe out what you have and try a new install (as I did above) -
if that doesn't work, then I suspect some problem in OSX.
But you still haven't said just which version of the OS you are running.
I see that as of Lion, the desktop and server systems were merged and
now all OSX systems have identical capabilities. I see there is a $20
download from Apple that provides some admin tools but all the
underlying Unix should be the same. Good article about all this at -

Both of my machines are running Yosemite (10.10.1) - I doubt that any
release after 10.7 would cause a problem for J.

Joey,
Yes it is a server version.
I always put mine in the home directory.
I tried launching from bin/jconsole, too, with the same error result.

Brian,
Rather than the ~path you show, I always install j in the /Applications
directory. Here is a launch of a pretty vanilla install under OS X 10.10.1
it is launched in a running Terminal window -

Here is a launch by clicking on jconsole in the finder -

That started up a terminal window and left it fallow when j quit. But it
seems to work just fine...
What OS are you running? Is it a "server version"?
