[fixed] OSX Megaglest 3.11.1 does not run on 10.6.8

[Bag O Tricks]

Problem: The latest Megaglest 3.11.1 app for OSX does not run. Attempting to run the application causes it to consistently quit automatically generating a standard error message (detailed below).

Why do I think the installer is faulty? I am running previous Megaglest OSX versions (3.7 and 3.9) on the same computer with no problems.

What I did (step by step):
- downloaded the OSX latest .dmg installer from https://megaglest.org/download on 25 Apr 15
- opened the .dmg to install the Megaglest application to my Applications folder.
- attempted to run Megaglest.app v3.11.1. The application does not run: it quits automatically and generates error message (below).

Observations:
- I ran Megaglest v3.9 immediately afterwards - with no difficulties.
- The v3.11.1 application is very much smaller (> 300MB) than previous versions: is this just coincidental?

My system details are included in the error message: which I append below, for what it's worth.
Any advice appreciated.

Previous releases were mostly distributed by .zip package which Mac OS know and can unpack almost imperceptible, then you are probably comparing "unpacked game" vs .dmg.

... for this release exist both .zip and .dmg packages

Basically problem is related with "OS Version".
We have access to Mac OS 10.10 and based on compatibility table game should work on 10.9+

In general Apple forces developers to not support older versions of OS.

...Any advice appreciated....

- first possibility - update your version of OS
 (Of course we know how Apple operates and it is not always possible.)

- second possibility- build game yourself
 Recently we have prepared some tools and with guide it shouldn't be tough process

Thanks filux - a straightforward answer.

In which case - can I suggest that the installation instructions @ https://megaglest.org/installation be updated accordingly?

The OSX installation instructions currently state (thus leading me reasonably to assume) that Megaglest will run on OSX 10.4 and above: which (as you've explained above) is no longer true for Megaglest versions above 3.9.1.
