(Replies to Flatt and Tobin-Hochstadt are below.) So, I’ve discovered that the git repository (at the `v5.1.1` tag) will simply *not build* for me on Lion; whereas the *downloaded* source-code distribution (distributed as a DMG, labeled as the ‘v5.1.1 macintosh source’) works fine. This is why Homebrew is failing; the exact configuration options that the Homebrew script wants work fine with the source-code distribution, but not within the git repository. Furthermore, the most basic `../configure --disable-places --disable-futures && make && make install` works with the distribution DMG, but not with git. What sort of differences might there be between `v5.1.1` git-tag and the v5.1.1 source-code distribution?
I discovered this last night, but failed to capture output; when I have the ~40 minutes it takes later today, I’ll build and capture respective outputs for you guys.

I have no idea how or if racket can/should find libcairo. If you give me some commands to run to debug that, though, I will; just remember that Homebrew’s environment is a bit weird compared to what a lot of you more UNIX-y devs are used to. I can probably get that sorted out with help from the Homebrew peeps, as long as we can get Racket itself building from source by hand over here.
