After fixing some ependencies things look much better for me now.

Summary:

  PASS     11457
  FAIL         3
  XFAIL        6
  SKIPPED     60

the 3 failures are bug-38236.tst + 2 issues with tolerances.
Can the large number of skipped tests be due to the fact that 
I disabled JIT and opengl?

P.S. Using Torsten's workaround for bug #40545 I can now also run the GUI 
without frezes or crashes.
As soon as RC1 is out I'll also produce installers for OSX 10.9 with and 
without GUI, any suggestions
about how to mark the GUI version as "beta" or "pre-release" and make it clear 
that the recommended version 
for production use is still the cli one?
