I have downloaded and installed gnubg-1_04_000-mac-1010-x86_64.dmg (from 
http://files.gnubg.org/media/macos/) on Mojave and it works. Are there any more 
recent builds for the Mac that I can test?

@Sidney: GNUbg is unsigned software, and Mac OS refuses to open it until you 
register it as an exception at System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> 
General. Are you aware of that and did you allow opening the app there? If not, 
google for “mac os install unsigned app”. You will find for example 
https://www.macworld.com/article/3140183/macs/how-to-install-an-app-in-macos-sierra-thats-not-signed-by-a-developer.html

Otherwise, please open a terminal window (CMD-Spacebare and type Terminal.app), 
and then type at the prompt:

    /Applications/gnubg.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/gnubg.x11

Please post the output here so that we can try to diagnose your problem.

By the way, the version from MacPorts also works here. It is a 1.05_002.

Good luck!
Guido
