I download BabyIDE-1-2011.12.ZIP from http://folk.uio.no/trygver/themes/babyide/babyide-index.html <http://folk.uio.no/trygver/themes/babyide/babyide-index.html> and appears to run without problems using the VM I compiled, I think we need more details about what is the problem.

My machine is a MacBook with 10.10.3, I also tested in an old mac mini PowerPC with 10.5.8 using the same VM and also works OK.
