Same issue here, ven when trying via command line. Also went back and tried with ripem version "ripme-2.1.16-4-02372e85" & "ripme-2.1.12-7-d0b97acd".

This does not seem to be it. I have the same issue, and the build mentioned above is afaik the latest version.

For me, it helped to install JDK 23.
