On OSX, I downloaded, unpacked and copied LDView from LDview_4.2.1_Universal.dmg. It seems to automatically detect my ldraw path and I am able to open an LDraw model launching the gui from (finder) context menu.
However, for command line invocation I get this response:

Cheers,
Just to make sure there's no misunderstanding, are you doing that from a Terminal Window on a Mac that you're logged into? The error message implies that you might not be local. However, presumably anyone using LPub on their Mac would be a local logged in user and not a remote user.
I just tested the following simplest-possible command line on my Mac:
/Applications/LDView.app/Contents/MacOS/LDView -SaveSnapshots=1 car.dat
It correctly generated a car.png file in the current directory (which was the LDraw models directory). I'm using LDView 4.2.1.
