Look at the Console log as you try to start RAqua.  You can find the
Console log viewer by going to the Applications folder and then the
Utilities folder inside Applications. It should give more information
about why RAqua is failing.

One fairly frequent reason for RAqua to fail is if you didn't install the
readline library that comes packaged with RAqua.  This is not optional.
