@peter: sorry, my response was in reply to Ian's suggestion about rvm/rbenv & Ylan's suggestion to use Rails Installer. RailsApps has always had the most up-to-date installation instructions and most complete walkthrough of properly installing, troubleshooting and configuring ruby/rails on Mac OS X (and other platforms). RailsInstaller and some other projects have quickly gone out-of-date or not provided much help troubleshooting. Daniel Kehoe does an awesome job. RailsInstaller provides a download for Mountain Lion(!) / Ruby 1.9.3 / Rails 4.1 and says don't install on Mavericks!
