Hi all, I've been trying yesterday to install the latest build of CouchDB [1] on both Mac OS 10.6.2 and 10.5.8, but even if the irc people have been very helpful all my attempts have finally failed.
Here is briefly what I've tried: A/ Mac OS 10.6.2. - adapted Homebrew formula to fetch the latest CouchDB [1] - attempt to install CouchDB directly from Homebrew. This failed and the error log was posted [2] - install only dependencies from Homebrew and attempt a manual install of CouchDB. This has failed too and the error log was posted here [3] B/ Mac OS 10.5.8 - adapted Homebrew formulat to fetch the latest CouchDB [1] - attempt to install CouchDB directly from Homebrew. This has failed in the configure phase: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/couchdb/0.11.0 --localstatedir=/usr/local/var --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc checking for curl >= 7.18.0... can't find curl >= 7.18.0 configure: error: Libraryr requirements (curl) not meet (my system reports libcurl 7.16.3) I have also checked the CouchDB wiki install notes [4] and an email thread about some issues with getting CouchDB working [5], but in the end I couldn't get it to work on either of my systems. At this moment, I am completely lost as I have no idea on how to move forward. I would really appreciated if someone could shed some light on how to get this working. Many thanks in advance, :- alex PS: I've been asked by the guys on irc to perform a lot of different checks, but I don't remember them all to reproduce them here. macloki:~ alex$ nm /usr/lib/libcurl.dylib | grep _curl_easy_perform 0002158d T _curl_easy_perform macloki:~ alex$ nm /opt/local/lib/libcurl.dylib | grep _curl_easy_perform 0001e790 T _curl_easy_perform macloki:~ alex$ echo $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH <empty> [1] http://people.apache.org/~nslater/dist/0.11.0/apache-couchdb-0.11.0.tar.gz [2] http://friendpaste.com/nfvE94i1VsPiwrl8oCHMn [3] http://friendpaste.com/6eWtE6xNBtHgpssCEJfufh [4] http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_OSX [5] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.couchdb.user/6329
