Version 0.30 Crashes on Launch in Mac OS X

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run Endgame: Singularity v0.30.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If run from the windowing system, the application bounces in the dock and then 
closes without a 
message.

If run from the Terminal, the following output is produced: 
"LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with 
error -10810 for the file /path/to/Endgame Singularity.app."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.30, on Mac OS X 10.5.7; the problem also persisted in version 10.5.6.
Unlike the previous issue reported with this setup, I am not using Python 2.6. 
I am using the 
normal 2.5.1 that is part of Mac OS X.

Please provide any additional information below.
This problem did not exist in version 0.28a.

Same happens here. OS X 10.5.8, Console says Singularity requires pygame. Tried 
pygame 1.8.1 and 1.9.1 from 
Macports to no avail. Where is Singularity looking for its dependencies?

I got mine working by symlinking the Macports pygame (1.9.1, but the default 
1.8.1 probably works as well) 
to the python folder in Singularity.app:

sudo port install py-game

cd /Applications/Endgame\ 
Singularity.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload

mv pygame pygame-old

ln -s /opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygame pygame

Lots of items appears missing in the beginning (buildings, suspicion rates, 
etc) which made me symlink 
numpy and AppKit from Macports, but they didn't seem to matter. Items appeared 
on display the first time 
they was used (i.e. unlock building, alter suspicion rate).

Oh, and I didn't notice any problems with the day/night setting as mentioned on 
the home page.

OS X 10.7.5, Console says "Endgame: Singularity requires pygame."; symlink to 
macports pygame just makes the bouncing on the dock dissapear, no change to 
message on console.
