Hello,

> I contribute a bit to the MacPorts project.  MacPorts has had a very old version of Grisbi available for many years.  Just recently, I updated it to Grisbi 2.0.x.  Grisbi build fine and the basic functions all work but I noticed certain issues.  No Help.  I had to Import Categories. Etc.  Using the File Debug option, I think I see the issue.  The following is part of the log file that was created:

> As was done in the past, Gribi is installed to use an X11 interface but not gtk_mac_integration.   This build of Grisbi is not installed into a Mac application bundle.  MacPorts typically installs in a ‘unix’ fashion but under a separate prefix to avoid clashing with command line software supplied by Apple with the OS.  The default MacPorts prefix is /opt/local and the following shows the contents of /opt/local on my machine:

If you use the Unix way, everything should be installed in the correct
directories.
But I am not sure to understand your problem.

Why don't you use the (native) macOS version I provide in
https://sourceforge.net/projects/grisbi/files/grisbi%20stable/2.0.x/2.0.5/Grisbi-2.0.5.dmg
?
