Hi everyone. I'm just posting what I did so that I could run the LightCrafterGUI on my Mac in the hopes that it might help someone else. Note: I have not yet tested if it interfaces with the LightCrafter yet, but it should have no difficulty, as we are simply changing the library paths. Also, to be safe, keep a backup of the original application, just in case things go awry. I am not responsible for any damage to your hardware, software, or person :)
When I unzip the LightCrafterGUI on my Mac, OS 10.6, it fails to launch with the following error:
Process: LightCrafterGUI [1448]

As you can see, it's looking for the Qt framework, which was not supplied with the program. If you wish to fix this, you need to download the Qt SDK, and install it on your machine. You then need to do the following, as the program is pointing to the incorrect path:
cd into where the LightCrafterGUI application is, then: cd LightCrafterGUI.app/Contents/MacOS/
If you execute the following: otool -L LightCrafterGUI, you will get a full listing of it's dependencies.
otool -L LightCrafterGUILightCrafterGUI: /Volumes/Emergency/Applications/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/lib/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui (compatibility version 4.8.0, current version 4.8.1)

To point the libraries to the correct location, you can do the following:
install_name_tool -change "/Volumes/Emergency/Applications/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/lib/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui" "/Users/*user*/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/lib/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui" LightCrafterGUI
install_name_tool -change "/Volumes/Emergency/Applications/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore" "/Users/*user*/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore" LightCrafterGUI
install_name_tool -change "/Volumes/Emergency/Applications/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/lib/QtNetwork.framework/Versions/4/QtNetwork" "/Users/*user*/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/lib/QtNetwork.framework/Versions/4/QtNetwork" LightCrafterGUI
Now, try launching the fixed application, and with all luck, it will start.
