I downloaded it and it looks like it tries to start, but does fail. It looks like an OpenGL problem. There are several other programs with problems with OpenGL and it doesn't look like anyone is able to get a handle on what to do about it.

I downloaded the Windows version from:

and it seems to run OK in wine.
