user1878: I'm trying to use litecoin on OSX with NVidia or CPU mining, and downloaded the binary from here
The specific binary I extracted was cgminer-2.10.5-x86_64-built.tar.bz2.  I extracted it and used terminal to CD into the extracted directory. 
There is a file there that has execute permissions on it ( ls -lag )
-rwxr-xr-x@  1 staff  382808 Feb  7 01:50 cgminer

If I double click on, or run the app cgminer OSX says: cannot execute binary file.
I verified that my security settings are set to run "unsigned programs from any author" but I don't think that matters in OSX.
How do I run cgminer on OSX?

user4021: You have downloaded the linux version of cgminer, that's not going to run on OS X.
I don't think there is a ready built binary for cgminer on OS X.
