WatirCraft doesn't work on Mac

Subject: Does watircraft work on Mac OS?

Hi Bret,

I just tried to do a "gem install bret-watircraft" on my Mac, and I received a lot of win32/api errors. The Watir site says that it works for Mac OS (firefox, safari), but I didn't see any platform info on the Watircraft site. Can these be ignored?

Thanks, Cynthia Sadler

Yes, I was trying to install watircraft to check out the new framework. This is after successfully installing firewatir.
