Hi

It looks as if you are trying to run Mosflm as a Mac application (or
".app", for the cognoscenti); the short answer is that it isn't one,
and that you run it as an X11 command-line program. You can't double
click the icon to run it even if you associate it with an application
like xterm.

If there is demand for an OS X (i.e. something that you double click
the icon to run) I can supply one - I looked at this a couple of
years ago and have a working model that includes iMosflm, but there
are one or two outstanding ideosyncrasies that might confuse the
naive user!
