These are the steps I had to use to get Cucumber and Watir running on OSX. It’s a shame about step 1, it’s a real pain but I don’t know any way around it.

  1. Install Xcode from OSX installation DVD - this takes about 15 minutes
  2. Open a command prompt and use enter the following commands.
  3. sudo gem update --system
  4. sudo gem install rspec --no-rdoc --no-ri
  5. sudo gem install gherkin --no-rdoc --no-ri
  6. sudo gem install cucumber --no-rdoc --no-ri
  7. sudo gem install firewatir --no-rdoc --no-ri

You should be good to go.
