I'm trying to install the Gitx Git client on my friend's mac and it seems to install fine but when I run it I get the following error:

You cannot open the application "GitXStable" because it is not supported on this architecture.

Ideas?

It would be great if you tell us the Operating System and Mac’s model of your friend, our crystal balls are out of battery ;) – Martín Marconcini Nov 20 '10 at 21:55

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

Intel application on a PowerPC Mac. Or vice versa. See if you can find an "Universal Binary" version of the application, which will run on either platform.

This link has a Universal Binary version: http://frim.frim.nl/GitXStable.app.zip

I recommend you to use this version of GitX. Here is the direct link to download. Supported architectures are ppc7400, i386, x86_64.
