Periodic Table code not working

Question

Good evening,

I wanted to run the following code (it's part of the PSTRICKS Examples list, so you can check it for free) but it does not work. There are two errors, in lines 165 and 390 which I do not understand.

They involve } brackets, which seem to be put there for a reason (which I don't know). If I take them off the code won't even start to be compiled.

Any help?

Thank you!

EDITS

Here are the screenshots of the errors.

I use TEXPAD app with the auto-detect compiling mode.

SOLUTION

As the guys in the comment say, I used PdFLaTeX to compile. I changed it into what they advised me for, and now it works.

Thank you for the help!
