Hmm, would you have links that explain/describe about the implications of doing so? One thing I start to speculate with is Apple's security measures that incur side-effects for the uninitiated (like myself in that regard) that cause this. When installing BSF4ooRexx Apple does not allow that to proceed as the installation package is unsigned and/or downloaded from the Internet. Rather she would go into System Preferences where there was an item (forgot which one) that allowed her to install that very same BSF4ooRexx package. If something went wrong there it may be the case that that inhibits finding/loading the shared libraries from that package? > Or use a case sensitive file system?

Thank you very much for your feedback and ideas, which are really helpful in this situation! Having experimented with new builds of the shared library (on "Big Sur") they all work and the linking step creates @rpath/librexx.4.dylib, @rpath/librexxapi.4.dylib, and @rpath/libjvm.dylib (but also /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib and /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib). Not sure whether further time investments would alleviate the problem on the student's computer, given your wealth of MacOS systems and experiences (will have to adapt the Mac installer of BSF4ooRexx to cater for zsh, and time permitting to change the installer to check for the existence of ooRexx on the system already, and if so use that ooRexx instead the one on board of BSF4ooRexx and the like)!
