I think the error here is a precompilation problem due Julia 1.9 pkgimages. The pkgimages cannot created due to `lld` missing some depedency on an old macOS.

@Gravlax , does Julia 1.8 work fine?

@davidanthoff , is there is an easy way to pass `--pkgimages=no` to the Julia instance running the LanguageServer?
