Emacs-on-Aqua is just not useable right now IMHO. It's pretty outdated 
as you said as it is based on Emacs 20.7 compared to the recent 21.4. I 
guess ECB just won't run on this old Emacs.

I you are searching for a recent Carbon Emacs, i.e. a Emacs running 
naitively on OS X without X11 you should check one of the follwoing 
resources:

http://home.att.ne.jp/alpha/z123/emacs-mac-e.html
http://yaced.sourceforge.net/
http://www.wordtech-software.com/aquamacs.html

All three are differnt distributions of a recent CVS Emacs with 
different patches and pre-installed packages and configurations.

I would check which one you like the best and then start working with 
it. I'm using ECB with a CarbonEmacs built directly from CVS which gave 
me the most freedom to configure it as i wanted it but for the beginner 
one of the above should be fine.

I you have more Questions about CarbonEmacsen try the list:
