Howdy,

Hmmmm... I have no problem compiling that with a fully updated TeX Live 2022. There is one warning about transparency that can be removed by activating and using the xelatexTR engine (go to <~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive/GhostscriptTransparencyEngines> for more information) but it even compiless fine jsut using the xelatex engine.

Do you have anything to do with pstricks in your personal texmf tree (root at <~/Library/texmf>)? I don't see an attached log file.

Good Luck,
