I think that ANTLRWorks just calls dot for producing external files and that by default OSX points to a weak version of Graphviz. In the preferences, you can tell it the PATH to find the dot command. Change that and it should work. I generally just use the syntax diagram though. If you check the grammar, then the rule in error will light up in red. Select it, then select the Syntax Diagram tag. It should show you how you end up with the recursion.
