Dear Stefano: I just tried this:
http://scottlab.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/coot/Coot-0.7-pre-1-4307_64bit_10.6.8.pkg.zip It works on my wife's 10.8 computer. Install it, and invoke it with /Library/Coot/bin/coot and then perform the same test. If that doesn't work, try creating a new account. If coot now works, that tells us that it is something in your own directory. Otherwise it must be a system problem. I don't have any experience with the ccp4 version that installs in /Applications, so I can't help with that one. I can at least try with this one.
