You really need to ask the developer for support. You haven't indicated where 
you downloaded it or what instructions you followed, but I got a similar error 
trying to install  
http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/software/mareymap/MareyMap_1.0.zip, so it seems a 
case of stale software. The DESCRIPTION file indicates his email address is 
rez...@biomserv.univ-lyon1.fr.

Since that website appears to be last modified in 2008 and the package itself 
is dated February 2009 getting support may not be so easy. However, it is 
licensed under GPL2.0 so if you are interested enough you can fix the bugs 
yourself with a bit of study if he does not respond.
