Hmm, not sure if I can decipher what happened at your end, but I just successfully installed prince here.
Expand the file prince-5.1r14-macosx.tar.gz wherever you've downloaded it: in a terminal window (assuming downloads end up on the desktop) ...
% cd Desktop % tar zxf prince-5.1r14-macosx.tar.gz
Then hop into the new directory
% cd prince-5.1r14-macosx % sudo -s Password: **********
# ./install.sh Prince 5.1 - Demo License
Install directory This is the directory in which Prince 5.1 will be installed. Press Enter to accept the default directory or enter an alternative. [/usr/local]:
Installing Prince 5.1...
Installation complete. Thank you for choosing Prince 5.1, we hope you find it useful. Please visit http://www.princexml.com for updates and development news. ========================================================================
(That is, I left the install directory to be the default, and just pressed return at that stage)
Post this I could just call "prince --help" in a new terminal window and up came the help. Apologies if the hand-holding comes off as condescending: it's not meant that way -- it's just hard to tell what someone knows from a short message.
Best of luck, Paul
