Then GNUmed is certainly intended for you :-)

There is, potentially, several ways forward.

1) If you can get hold of another computer running Debian Linux
that would be the most convienent option.

2) If possible, run a virtual machine on your Mac and install
Debian Linux into that virtual machine:

3) We *may* get GNUmed running on MacOSX natively but it has
not been tested in any way. To that end I will, for
starters, try to fix the bug you reported earlier so you can
maybe test again.

Please tell us which of the above options you want to pursue.

Regards,
Karsten
