I've never seen anything like this. Which dmg file are you using, or did you try to install from source code?

That is the normal sequence of commands needed to launch from an icon. Generally the terminal window scrolls up a page so you do not see it
(although you might see a '-e' as the top line before the NEURON banner). Anyway, is that the only line printed and you do not see the NEURON
banner? As Ted inquired, what is the url of the installer you used?

Did you drag the dmg contents, NEURON-7.3, into /Applications?
Did you install the xcode command line tools (to allow compiling and linking mod files?)
Did the system request that you install X11?
