I have an intel mac mini that doesnt seem to want to run planeshift. When i click on the client it opens and then immeadiatly closes. I went to the terminal and used the directions to get to the updater, but that didnt work so now im using the java updater (which apperently takes 8 hours).
Can someone help me out here?

EDIT: this is what the console says

Crystal Space for MacOS/X 0.99 r0 [MacOS/X-powerpc-GCC]
Ported to MacOS/X by Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>

dyld: NSLinkModule() error
dyld: Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libdl.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/Planeshift3D/psclient.app/Contents/Resources/freefnt2.csbundle
  Reason: image not found


You need to make sure it's launching under Rosetta - first, open your Planeshift3D folder, look for the PSclient icon, then click to highlight it and press Command-I for "get info" (or Ctrl-click and choose Get Info) - when you're on the Get Info screen for the PSclient, look for the checkbox to open it with Rosetta, and check it. 
I'm not sure exactly what the checkbox is called (don't have an Intel) but it should be something to the effect of "open this application with/under/using Rosetta" the keyword being Rosetta obviously

Mac OSX Specific Issues / Re: none of the .app would run....

I recently run the updater, and after the update the updater, psclient and psconfig all die with "Bus error" when executed.
So I deleted the whole directory, downloaded the dmg from ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/planeshift/Planeshift_CBV0.3.015.macosx.dmg and copied to the usual directory (/Volumes/DATA/gry/ - this is not the system disk if it matters) - still the same error on all executables
Then I downloaded the updater-old.jar and ran it overnight... It did nothing (it was still "Compiling list of files to update (this may take a few minutes)..." after I woke up in the morning ... which was what it was doing when I went to sleep last night)
Then I downloaded the torrent version, but still no luck. (It's "Bus error" all the time) Now I'm all out of ideas what to do.

I'm using a 2x2.5 GHz G5 with 4GB of RAM, MacOS X 10.3.9 and an ATI card based on their RV360 chip (can't remember which one exactly)

EDIT: now trying again with java updater, this time force-updating all files. I honestly hope this will help.

EDIT: It didn't... any ideas?

Here's my various advice :) 
#1 try to make sure your user has admin rights, easily doable if you own this computer.  I'm not sure if any of the installation or usage of Planeshift requires these admin rights - it's just a good policy to start with in any non-launch situation. 
#2 go to the user home folder, Library folder, try to find any Preferences or Application Support items created by Planeshift or Crystal Space - delete them (whenever you have Mac problems, deleting the Preferences/App Support files is usually as good as a total application reinstall) 
#3 delete everything installed by Planeshift everywhere you can possibly find it, and reinstall again with admin rights, then repeat the above steps if necessary 
#4 The RV360 means ATI Radeon 9600XT - a fine card for this game.  I occasionally play Planeshift on my 800Mhz iBook G3 which has the ATI Radeon 7500, far weaker than yours. 

these are my 4 suggestions offhand, not necessarily meant to be done in any order - and sorry I can't tell you if they work because mine always works ok (except the server's down right now and I can't log in...)
these are general Mac application troubleshooting steps, should be generally applicable for any Mac OS X program issue
