That's what you will get if you process with pdftex instead of dvips 
+gs or an equivalent script. Try this, assuming you're using TeXShop  
with the default Engine settings.

%&latex
%!TEX TS-program = latex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(-.5,-.5)(6.5,6.5)
\psline(0,0)(4,3)
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
