Hey, I'm just going through the script a bit and we're hitting a couple of snags:

There should be a brew install git at the beginning.

brew install imagemagick fails with some obscure error message.

The rvm download doesn't work because it needs -k for the https. In any case that rvm says it's outdated and you should execute a different command with a different bash script.

So far for now. I hope this helps to update the script for other participants.

Also on a 10.6 Mac, the installed version of sqlite is 3.6.12. Will that be an issue for rails?

Now everything should be fixed.

I don't know about the sqlite version. Some old versions don't work with the latest sqlite gem but for sometimes installing old version of the sqlite gem works.

I moved the scripts to a proper repository: https://github.com/railsgirls/installation-scripts

Now anyone can create a pull request with fixes/changes and more people can have commit rights than me :-). The website will be updated with the new installation script URLs soon.
