Colin, and all macusers in troubles :

1) open the console in /Applications/Utilities
2) launch the program and see what's the probleme reported in the console.

you'll get lots of that verbose dumb UNIX prehistoric-computing stuff that
(nearly) nobody cares for. But needed anyway for you to decode any
problem, incl. that one.     Then, you'll become a free person !   
(wishing you the best !).

hints: as Bruce said, it can be X11 missing (not installed by default)
OR/AND you've a mac with an intel processor. ifeffit is not uptodate with
that last macintel issue (( you did not specified your computer details,
which does not help the helpers too )).
