I feel I should start with some pre-emptive apologies. I used to subscribe to this list, but haven't been reading it for a year or so, so I may have missed the answer to my question. (I did try finding it in the list archives, of course.) Also, I'm a little frustrated, and that might adversely influence the tone of this message. I'll try to avoid that, but I beg your forgiveness if I sound a little snide.

Actually, this WAS a clean install. It took me over a month to get all my tools re-installed. However, not all of the installers correctly installed 64-bit versions. Postgres was a particular nightmare. Because it stuffed 32-bit libraries all over the place, everything that linked to it automatically degraded to 32-bit, and I ended up with all kinds of stuff that didn't work.

That's why I've been trying to get everything moved back up to 64-bit.

Oh, I know, I know. I HATE MacPorts. I hate hate hate having to install something that is already on my system, but is 'too old' or the 'wrong version,' because I have wasted many hours chasing down problems from my command line using one version and XCode-developed apps using another.

See above. 

In fact, it was impossible to get all this fixed without MacPorts, because that was the only way I could get a 64-bit version of Postgres. The packaged binary installer gave me 32-bit. I tried recompiling from the source version I had already, and it blew up in every direction with unfulfilled dependencies. 

I suspect zlib and libxml were dependencies of Postgres, and, of course, MacPorts would never link to the existing system libraries. Ewww. {roll eyes}

But that certainly suggests a possible solution. "Erase" the MacPorts tree.

Bloody hell. Thanks, Ben, you rock. 


Note to self: when Gem says "blahblahblah is missing" it's probably lying. Missing != wrong architecture.
