I installed the runtime buildbot build as of 2010/09/12. It’s a 2,7 MB app in Applications, so I assume that’s it. When I just double-click the app or drag a .p3d on it nothing happens.
The console gives this error:
Sep 15 16:11:03 q092 [0x0-0x1ed1ed].org.panda3d.runtime.panda3d_mac[7350]: Failed to initialize plugin (passed API version 15)

The path to that dylib is there, it’s a 1.6 MB file.
In the past there was a problem with the cache being created @ ./Documents/Library/Caches/Panda3D-1.7.0/cache but that should be long fixed.
Could you clear the log directory in ~/Library/Caches/Panda3D/log, then attempt to start the .p3d file again, and show us any logfiles that appear in that directory?
