I got a problem with sqlite3 after update to mountain lion can you write about it please
this helped me get going... thanks!
RVM sucks.
@errordeveloper, care to elaborate?
Just want to add you don't need to manually call homebrew to install automake, RVM's autolib does it for you.
This was a great help. Thanks!
For any n00bs, on step 7, of course, update "cp /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.5.27/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/" to reflect the version of mysql you have (I had 5.6.12 instead of 5.5.27)
This page was of super-help to me. Thanks you folks ! -- Deb
good work.. bro!
