Summary of a few hours of work with Matei to ensure Mesos works on OS X 10.6.8.
On OS X make sure port is up to date (WOW can't believe it doesn't check this): $ sudo port selfupdate Install 64-bit python: $ sudo port install python26 Set it to be the default: $ sudo port select --set python python26 Make sure /opt is at the front of your path (put this at the end of $HOME/.bashrc): export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH Verify you are running the 64-bit version of python (NOTE: python --version will NOT tell you this!) file `which python` /opt/local/bin/python: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 (NOTE: file seems to print something different when run from an interactive shell!)
