Solution

  • Solution:

    1. Find where is jna-..*.jar located. you can do this using find /opt/homebrew/ -name '*.jar' | grep cassandra
    2. Browse to https://search.maven.org/artifact/net.java.dev.jna/jna/5.8.0/jar and download the jar from top-right downloads button on the page.
    3. Replace your jna-..*.jar file with the one you downloaded. In my case i replaced jna-5.6.0.jar. Remember to keep the file name as your previous file name. Example I moved jna-5.8.0.jar and renamed as jna-5.6.0.jar

    mv /Users/mansooralikhan/Downloads/jna-5.8.0.jar /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cassandra/4.0.1/libexec/jna-5.6.0.jar

    1. Restart cassandra
