ok, right. this mac mini has macosx 10.6. homebrew demands xcode 3.2.6 or the "command line xcode tools" xcode 3.2.6 is a whopping 4gb download and i ain't fucking well doing that over a 30k/sec broadband link. plus it also installs some other crap - iOS developer tools - that marie's not going to be happy about (because the machine only has a small hard drive). "command line xcode tools" requires macosx 10.7 as an absolute minimum. so, it looks like i'll be using darwinports (ok, macports) after all. apart from anything, i know that works, and can pull in everything needed with a single command that i can just leave to run and complete: "port install gstreamer libsoup webkit python pygtk" or whatever. that i _know_ will grab everything, all the required dependencies - everything. so... we will be taking a slightly different route to the same goal :) l.
