and start installing it using the commands:

...

2. Make

This says that you're trying to link a 32 bit library against a 64 bit =
build. That's gonna be a problem. I'm not sure why you're manually =
installing it at all, after reporting your rubygems version. Instead, =
try installing the gem:

9999 % sudo gem install rb-appscript
Password:
Updating installed gems
Updating rb-appscript
Fetching: rb-appscript-0.6.0.gem (100%)
Building native extensions. This could take a while...

After check the list i tried to build the gem using gemspec:

rb-appscript.gemspec
Password:
[rb-appscript.gemspec] isn't a Gem::Specification (NilClass instead).
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
