can't open the viewer at all on mac

Try two things:

1. Be sure that you have actually downloaded the correct version of the viewer.  If you accidentally downloaded the PC or Linux version, your Mac won't like it.

2.  Assuming you are running the latest OS (Lion or Mountain Lion), you have to adjust your security setttings in your Mac preferences, otherwise Lion won't allow SL (or any application other than the ones approved by Apple).You have to tick the box "authorize applications from anywhere".

You can't run Second Life with MacOS X 10.5.8 . You need at least 10.6, and preferably significantly higher. See https://secondlife.com/support/system-requirements/
