I have tried launching by double-clicking the .app from the applications folder as well as by launching with the Terminal. In the terminal I get the following:
LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10661 for the file /Applications/Boxee.app

What happens when I launch either way is nothing. No bouncing icon in the Dock, just nothing.

please try running /Applications/Boxee.app/Contents/MacOS/Boxee.

are you getting anything in Console?

what version of osx are you using, and which version of boxee? please try using http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=403 if you're not already.

welcome to boxee!

I get the following in a new Terminal window when I run the file in the contents:

Last login: Sun Sep 14 13:39:31 on ttys000
/Applications/Boxee.app/Contents/MacOS/Boxee ; exit;
john-hopkins-powerbook-g4-15:~ john$ /Applications/Boxee.app/Contents/MacOS/Boxee ; exit;
-bash: /Applications/Boxee.app/Contents/MacOS/Boxee: Bad CPU type in executable
logout

[Process completed]

And the following is what I get in the Console:

9/15/08 6:49:18 AM com.apple.launchd[118] (tv.boxee.helper[19355]) posix_spawnp("/Applications/Boxee.app/Contents/Resources/Boxee/bin/boxeeservice", ...): Bad CPU type in executable

Ah-ha! I'm sure I read that somewhere and just didn't give it a thought. Thanks.
