Exactly what the message says. The engine is not executable.

To fix this do

1. open Terminal
2. navigate to the directory where you have put  the engine file.
3. type chmod +x filename

where filename is to be replaced by the name of the file you are  
making executable (Latex-Asy-Latex.engine).

Then try again.

BTW. The next time don't hijack a thread. Start a new thread for a new  
post.
