The installed libs are looking for a homebrew python3.8 (which I do not have): /usr/local/opt/python@3.8/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/Python (compatibility version 3.8.0, current version 3.8.0)

Details

Some additional details for this issue (if relevant):

• Platform (Operating system, version): macOS
• Version of EnergyPlus (if using an intermediate build, include SHA): 9.3.0, 9/.4.0-IOFreeze

Seems the output of otool -L for both.

Rebuilding manually on the machine, as you can see it found my homebrew python which is 3.7:
