Yep

Here is exactly what I did:

Updated Ruby to 1.8.4 (because I have OSX and it only comes with 1.8.2)
Updated my .bashrc file to put /usr/local/bin at the start of my PATH  
(so 'which ruby' returns '/usr/local/bin/ruby' )
Downloaded, built and installed SWIG (the documentation on the  
Instiki site said that this was needed for OSX).
Used gem to install the SQLite3 adapter.
Downloaded instiki-0.11.0.tgz to my desktop
Double-clicked the .tgz file
Dragged the instiki-0.11.0 folder into my home directory
Fired up terminal and typed:
cd inst<tab>
./inst<tab>
Launched Safari and typed <Cmd>-L localhost:2500 <ret>
Started answering the questions to create my wiki.

It's running right now, on port 80, in daemon mode. I've been  
collaborating with a few other people on a publication.

What I did NOT do was install the latest SQLite 3. Tiger comes with  
3.1.3 and that seems to do the job. I guess it's possible that  
SQLite3 and the Ruby driver for it are out of synch.

Other than installing SWIG and not installing SQLite 3 I just  
followed the README file. I don't really have a clue why it's not  
working for you but it is working for others so keep the faith.
