Will you be posting the Mac screencast too?
I used Macports to install ruby19, but that's an older build (May 2009). Your link above for windows refers to a newer August build of ruby19. Here's hoping you provide the equivalent Mac instructions.
@Laternal Punk -- http://hivelogic.com/articles/ruby-rails-leopard - Here is a good instruction set on installing Rails and Gems on Mac. Please note that I recommend that you replace a few of the steps with the appropriate versions. Here is what I came up with.
1.) Under Ruby, where they are downloading the 1.8.7... version of Ruby, replace that URL with: ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.1-p243.tar.gz (This gets 1.9.1, the same version of Ruby as the one click installer in the Windows screen cast)
As for the rest of it, I would do as he said in the Windows, i.e. sudo gem install rails (This adds Rails, ActiveRecord, and about 6 others, so hang tight as it takes some time).

Yes, there will be a Mac screencast. Typically the Windows users have more trouble, so I did that screencast first; but this time around I think it will be the Mac users who will be a bit challenged.
The MacPorts / DarwinPorts may be acceptable, but in the screencast I'll show you how to build from source (which requires downloading and installing XCode from Apple).

Hope this helps.

I meant my post as a reply to your post. Not sure how notifications are set up. Hope this information finds you well.
