The mac install is confusing. Right now, "watir" only works on windows. But "watir" is installed when you install firewatir on mac. It all really depends on what you mean by "watir".
We will fix this on a future release. But right now, you have what you need, and the "watir" example code will work for you. Watir::Browser.new, etc etc will do the right thing.
