@hjellinek I don't have a Mac handy right now - but, I think you can fix the problem by going to the file, Interlisp.github.io/content/en/project/credits.md and removing line #5, markup: mmark. The line doesn't add any value, We don't use math markdown on this page.
Give that a try and let me know. If that doesn't work I'll try and duplicate the problem on a Mac later this week.
Thanks, that let me get further. Now it bombs out because _internal/google_analytics_async.html is missing.

@hjellinek I was able to reproduce the problem on a my Mac. It looks like the root cause is brew is pulling a newer version of Hugo, v0.126.1, then is used in production, v0.122.0, or with my local Linux build, v0.123.7,
I need to spend some time getting a consistent version across a couple machines to determine if it's the Mac build or a breaking update in a Hugo release.
Hi @stumbo, I figured I'd save you some effort and install hugo v0.123.7 like so:
$ brew remove hugo
$ brew install [email protected]
But homebrew's hugo isn't susceptible to such incantations. It turns out it's difficult to install an older version of hugo using homebrew. So I'll let you investigate.
@hjellinek - https://nelson.cloud/how-to-install-older-versions-of-homebrew-packages/ ? Or was it just a hugo specific issue that made it not installable using the @version syntax.
I used the very technique described in that blog post with Hugo. The error messages mostly came from brew, complaining about nonexistent directories, write-protected directories, etc. I tried to fix the things it complained about, but the Hugo brew install kept overwriting my fixes/workarounds.
@hjellinek I believe the changes in the branch docsyUpdate will fix your Mac build problems. If you switch to that branch and run: hugo server --renderToMemory you should have a functioning system. If that works, you can layer your updates on top of that to test them.
If you don't use the renderToMemory option you will likely get some permission errors -- Hugo will want to update Read Only versions of a couple files.
There are a couple additional things I need to do before I merge the docsyUpdate branch, but for your testing it should be sufficient.
