Until somebody can rework that OSX script and verify that GITHUB_PLUGIN works on OSX, you
can probably work around the problem by editing the script to use this repo in place of
the one you mentioned:

bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dickelbeck/kicad/library-read-only/

The current similar script for linux uses footprints from github directly, without
installing them locally. That requires a functioning GITHUB_PLUGIN and the proper build
options given in the script

  <src>/scripts/kicad-install.sh

there is also

scripts/library-repo-install.sh

for linux users, using pretty footprints from github, installed locally. It requires
manual intervention after running it, so one must "read it" like English. It explains how
to set the environment variable and to copy the fp-lib-table into position for exclusive
use of "KiCad" Plugin Type.

Really though, if they are going to host a script outside the project, I wonder if you
should not be getting support from the place where you got the script.
