New description:

 I have tried to install gnubg with `sudo port install gnubg`. The
 installation goes through without any error messages, but unfortunately I
 can't find gnubg in my programmes.
 In the termianl I saw that gnuBG was installed there:

 /opt/local/bin/gnubg

 when I call gnuBG in the terminal a sound appears and gnubg is executed in
 the terminal in a kind of command line version.

 What can I do so that I can use the graphical user interface of gnubg?

Comment:

 When I run `gnubg` on my macOS 12 system, it prints a few lines of
 version/copyright/license information to the terminal and then launches
 X11.app and opens an X window with a Backgammon board. Does this not
 happen for you? Do you have an X server installed and properly set up? If
 not, you can get one by running `sudo port install xorg-server`.
