Hi All,

I've found a couple of posts on this list that mention that Watir
cannot be installed on Mac OS X and I've found this to be the case on
my machine, as I get a ton of errors around win32-api when attempting
to install (I already have Xcode Tools and SafariWatir installed and
working)...

But what I was wondering about is with Watir 1.6.x and the integration
of the common browser functionality, the default browser can be set to
'ie', 'firewatir' and 'safari' (Mac OS X) only - if Watir cannot be
installed on Mac OS X, why is there a safari option in the common
browser function? I'm referring to the wiki on this:

http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Browser.new

The wiki also still mentions that Mac installation is done with:

sudo gem update --system
sudo gem install firewatir
sudo gem install safariwatir

But that doesn't give you common Watir methods, like
Watir::Browser.new - so in that context, how do you use
"Watir::Browser.default = 'safari'"?

Can Watir 1.6.2 be installed as a gem on Mac OS X 10.5.x then or am I
on a wild goose chase here? Thanks.

Regards,

John
