I downloaded the dmg files from http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/download/gambit/v4.6/prebuilt/gambc-v4_6_4-macosx-intel32.dmg and http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/download/gambit/v4.6/prebuilt/gambc-v4_6_4-macosx-intel64.dmg

That is strange.  I have used the 32 bit installer to install v4.6.4 on a MacBook pro (early 2011 version), a 3 year old MacBook Pro, a 2 year old iMac, and there were no issues.

Have you checked some obvious things (perhaps your disk is full, or your download was corrupted (which browser did you use?)).

I wonder if the precise error message was added to the system log.  Can you check the content of /var/log/system.log ?
