Resolved.
>From my esteemed colleague:
I ran this command to get a list of all the
installed packages: pkgutil --pkgs-plist
In the results I found the following line: <string>com.marklogic.server</string>
I ran this command to remove it: sudo pkgutil --forget com.marklogic.server
Here was the result of this command: Forgot package 'com.marklogic.server' on
'/'.
I then attempted to install MarkLogic 4.2
and…surprise, it installed just fine!
