Welcome to the forum Liam!

Please search the forum before asking a question, as it often has already been asked and answered. From your error message, you are missing the SDL libraries, which needs to be installed separately.

Read this post:

It includes 3 links to possible solutions.

Also, I am a little confused by what you mean by "Unix executable file". You should be using the Mac version of Simutrans. The latest stable is available here: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=4642.0
