Hi Enrico,

the Readme.html file that comes with the *.dmg tells us:

...
2. Requirements

If your Apple computer comes with Motorola's PowerPC processor then you need to 
have installed at least Mac OS X version 10.3. If you have a newer Apple 
computer that comes with an Intel processor then you need to have installed at 
least Mac OS X version 10.4.

In both cases you must install Apple's X11 runtime environment from 'DVD 1 of 
your Mac OS X Install Discs' before. To make sure that you have installed the 
latest Apple's X11 environment available try to do a software update and install 
the latest X11 software patch.
