I try to perform this simple line of emacs manual (this is the perfect page of the manual where I took this: where I took this: "31.13.10 Sexp Entries and the Fancy Diary Display”). Because trying to learn emacs I would try as many entry possibile as I could (I know I can obtain that in a different way).

But on my Mac OS X platform I cannot obtain the right result.
I’ve tried with:
- emacs ver 26.2; 28.3; 28.3 (via terminal “emacs -Q” and via GUI With or without a init.el file

... And finally, I’ve installed a VM, running Debian 11 and try it running emacs by terminal and typing ORG-AGENDA ret a
I obtain the agenda with the correct entry.

So I’m wondering:
Maybe Mac osx does not contain the right (elisp?) code to obtain that?

Could you please detail what exactly you tried? How did you use
diary-anniversary? What did you put into diary file? Or did you use
diary sexp style timestamp? Did you enable org-agenda-include-diary?
