I have been having a growing annoyance with MacPorts for a while, =
nothing specific, but definitely there. I switched to homebrew a couple =
of weeks ago on one of my machines then on another last Friday (that's =
Sept 10, the day after this thread, and I'm just reading this now).

The best thing about homebrew is that it's i) fast; ii) *I* can =
understand exactly what's been done. It doesn't have a lot of packages =
that I used from MacPorts, but as Elise said, that's easy enough to deal =
with.

This is the important part. The other machine I mentioned is one that =
I've been using to develop a pretty substantial web application. We have =
been having a peculiar problem with ruby-libxml for likely 18 months =
now. We've eliminated the library from our code base in favour of =
Nokogiri. The problem is a memory corruption error (we think caused by =
traversals of the the DOM) that occurs some time *after* the fact as a =
GC error. Over time, through a process of elimination over took a month =
or two, we are convinced that it was the ruby-libxml library causing the =
problem.

On Friday I switched to homebrew, rvm, using Nokogiri. The memory =
corruption problem reappeared. After a lot of sweating and a little =
googling and I found this blog post:

=
http://bennyfreshness.posterous.com/installing-nokogiri-with-homebrew-inst=
all-of

Please read that if you are using OS X. If you do what he says, for me =
most importantly:

gem install nokogiri -- =
--with-xml2-include=3D/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.7.7/include/libxml2 =
--with-xml2-lib=3D/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.7.7/lib

the problem goes away.

I am now suspicious that our problems with ruby-libxml were for the same =
or similar reasons. libxml2 comes with OS X, maybe there's some kind of =
confusion there? Don't know.

Anyway, you should probably build Nokogiri this way. The problem is not =
apparent for some time after the actual damage was done. Short running =
tests do not illustrate the problem, at least, we've not found one.

Cheers,
Bob
