Can't install node 0.8.4 on Mac OSX Lion

[mdespuits]

I have tried to install node multiple times via brew install node on my machine and I am running into the same issue every time. I removed my previous manual installation as best I could (version 0.6.3) as well as npm.

Here's my gist of info on homebrew which includes my brew doctor output. Unfortunatly, I can't remove the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH warning as I depend on it for work stuff right now.

Here is the last part of my brew install node command where the error occurs:

libtool: unrecognized option `-static'

Hope y'all can help!

Please brew update and check if 0.8.5 works.

[mdespuits]

Done, but a no go. Received a different error. Updated the install output in the gist

[adamv]

What does which libtool give you?

[mdespuits]

Unfortunately /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/libtool.

[mdespuits]

If I remove the /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/ from my path, brew doctor gives me this.

I'm not sure if I will be able to do this, but it's worth a try...

Warning: Setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH can break dynamic linking.
You should probably unset it.
Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
`./configure` scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and what additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.

Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:

    /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/gdal-config
    /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/geos-config

Node installed after removing this from my path. Thanks for your help @adamv!

[dwilt]

Matt, I'm having this issue it seems at the moment. What exactly did you do to fix it?

[mdespuits]

@dwilt I wish I could tell you at this point. I have been able to successfully install node for a while now. The only thing I remember doing is removing MAMP's libtool from my path as outlined above. I wish I could be more help. Are you still trying to install node v0.8.4? I can install the latest (v0.10.13) versions just fine.

@dwilt Please file a new issue with the troubleshooting information: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Troubleshooting

[dwilt]

Misty, I think I found part of the problem.. I ran a brew doctor and got this: Any ideas how I resolve these dylib errors?

This means that system-provided programs will be used instead of those

Consider amending your PATH so that /usr/local/bin
occurs before /usr/bin in your PATH.

Update, I've done some googling and have resolved most of the brew doctor issues, but I'm left with these and not sure what to do:

Please take this to the mailing list or open a new ticket instead of continuing to comment on a year-old closed thread.

I ran into this issue as well.

I was able to fix this by moving the MAMP path to the end of my path rather than at the beginning.

Old PATH = /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin
New PATH = /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin
