I'm trying to install Ptolemy 5.0.1 on Mac OSX (10.3.9).  I used the ZeroG installer, which seems to have gone very smoothly.  My java version is

java -version
java version "1.4.2_09"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_09-233)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-56, mixed mode)

Any attempts to run anything in the installed directory fail.  Originally, I was getting some cryptic messages about LAX and Java versions.  I edited vergil-full.app/Contents/Info.plist and changed the JVMVersion key to 1.4*.   Note that to see all of this I have to run

vergil-full.app/Contents/MacOS/vergil-full directly from the terminal.  Otherwise the application tries to start up and then mysteriously exits.

After making the above-described change, here's what I get:

$ vergil-full.app/Contents/MacOS/vergil-full
Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)

Segmentation fault

Does anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?  Did I miss something?  It looks like the installer left me as the owner of everything, though there could be individual permission problems in any of the many files.   I'm not sure where to go from here.

Thanks,
