 From the ReadMe.txt file

------------
If you want to install RAqua double click on the RAqua.pkg icon. You 
will be asked for a root password. RAqua will be installed on your 
system in  the /Applications folder.

(...)

You should also install the other three packages:
1. libreadline (unless you have this package already installed)
2. tcltk (this is a must if you want to use tcltk)
3. libxml2 (if you want to use the XML package)
---------



I guess you don't have the libreadline library installed on you system 
and this causes RAqua failing to launch. Please use the installer 
provided in the RAqua.dmg archive.

Also follow Thomas L. suggestion (as a general rule when a OSX 
application fails to run or quits unexpectedly) to look at the Console 
application inside the Applications/Utilities folder on your system
