The installer assumes only ~/.icons and ~/.themes folder to be there because all the GNOME versions I know of create them by default. The installer checks if ~/.emerald folder exists. If it doesn't then it creates one and then installs.
Can you confirm if any versions of GNOME do NOT create ~/.icons and/or ~/.themes?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yes. On Ubuntu Hardy, Ubuntu Intrepid, and Ubuntu Jaunty (haven't yet tried Karma) [i.e., the latest three official releases of Ubuntu], the installer will complain about ~/.icons, ~/.themes, ~/.emerald/theme, and ~/.emerald/themes (perhaps you check for ~/.emerald but not for its subfolders?). The installer will complete but will only apply part of Mac4Lin, leaving a very eerie and ugly half Mac and half Gnome look.

When i try to install Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0.sh. I get the message "Installing Mac4Lin Emerald Window Borders... [: 62: missing ]

I Created The folders mentioned above manually in my /home/username/ folder and to be sure i copied files from equally namen folders in de folder with the installation files to the newly created folders., but still the same message.

Do you use Emerald themer for window decoration? If not (and your use the default Ubuntu install) then no need to worry. You can ignore this warning.
