fails to start on mac

[funkyflash5]

been playing the linux version on my desktop and wanted to load the mac version on my wifes laptop so I can get my fix when not at home. Instead of starting I get an error message Dyld symbol not found: _objc_release

the laptop is running OSX 10.6.8 in 64 bit mode
Any help is appreciated

I know nothing about Mac, but I wanted to check in and see if you've got this working.

If not, was a log file created? (See my sig.) Post it if it's available.

Exactly how far does it get and what does the crash look like?

Looking around online a little, this may be due to OSX 10.6.8 being out of date.

It seems that several libraries used in several programs may no longer support OSX 10.6.8.
Not sure if this is the issue here, but it may be worth looking into.

(Interestingly, from discussions about similar bugs I read, the only way to develop for older OS versions is to literally have a system with an old OS version installed. Doesn't seem to be any other way to test if your program would still work.)
