This is the message I get on the console when CP tries to load.

Ok, after some work this weekend I’m going to answer this myself. If you are running the most recent version of OS10 (10.8) you will need to install the X11 app.

Hi,

Yes, sorry I missed this post. Indeed OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion) does not include X11, which CellProfiler requires:

As the above post says, install XQuartz instead and it should work fine.
