The information below says a 64-bit binary, and I think our 64-bit binary probably works only in 10.6 and up. In particular "unknown required load command" means that the OS cannot interpret the binary's format.
The 32-bit version really should work, so a similar report from trying a 32-bit run would be useful. Thanks!
