Same problem here. :-(
Any idea what's going wrong?

@shumon07 What is your Mac OS version and do you have python installed on your machine?

[lexsoul]

You need to install Python 2.7.16 https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2716/

And install bazel@5.4.0 following “Installing using the binary installer” https://bazel.build/install/os-x#install-with-installer-mac-os-x

I got it to build on my M2 Mac, by simply deleting all ".bazel" files, using GoLand (Jetbrains GO IDE) and added a new "go.mod". I then simply left it at it's defaults and in any random go-file, I simply had it "syncronise". After a few seconds it added all the dependencies to the go.mod and I was able to instantly start simhospital locally on my mac.
