MacPorts && CouchDB && Snow Leopard == YES

You can now use MacPorts to install CouchDB 0.9.1 on Snow Leopard; the required library libsdl has finally been fixed. To clean out all old hacks I removed /opt, installed port version 1.8 again (I had my own build from trunk that I wanted to get rid of) and let mac ports download and build evertything from scratch with sudo port install couchdb. Takes a while, but now I have a nice and clean installation.

    Still doesn’t work for me. I wonder if I need to scrap my /opt/local even though I did not apply any patches? I already rebuilt everything once for 10.6!

    Apparently there’s still some mismatch according to this comment , and I saw that too.

    But when I scrapped my /opt and reinstalled port 1.8 all worked nicely.

    Hello, I am so happy to find your site. I have looked and looked for Linux or Mac OS X software for the Oregon Scientific USB instruments. You not only have the protocol figured out but you are writing Mac software. Thank you thank you. I have your WLogger running in the xcode project and am getting data in system.log and got one twitter post. Yay! I don’t have couchDB working yet but have high hopes. Paul Aiken SC USA
