    I'm trying to do a rEFInd install on my macbook 2.1 running OSX 10.4.11.
    When I try to run install.sh the script produces two errors before exiting.

    ./install.sh: line 904: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
    ./install.sh: line 953: syntax error: unexpected end of file

    No other output is produced. The results are the same for both a normal user and root.
    I'm using rEFInd version 0.7.5.
    Could it be that OSX 10.4.11 is too old to be supported?

    Unfortunately, Apple has made a number of changes to its shells and related tools between versions, which makes it difficult to support every version of OS X in the install.sh script. I recommend you either perform a manual installation of rEFInd, as covered in the documentation, or use install.sh from a more recent version of OS X.

    I suspected something like this. No problem, a manual install it is. The documentation has very clear instructions (thank you for the very good documentation, by the way) so this is very doable.
