OS X 10.9.5 Installation

Hi, I'm using the guide at https://github.com/ethereum/homebrew-ethereum to install ethereum. I've updated xCode, brew doctor is showing no warnings and I have followed all the troubleshooting on the aforementioned page, yet I'm still encoutering problems with homebrew.

When I run brew install --build-from-source

I'm not really sure what else to post, but if there's any information that would help let me know. Willing to tip a little in BTC if your post leads to a solution.

Thanks!

The master branch currently doesn't compile on OSX; see the buildserver: http://build.ethdev.com/builders/OSX C++ master branch

What you can do is to try to install the develop branch, with the --successful flag to ensure that you'll be getting a version that actually builds:

brew reinstall ethereum --devel --successful

Thanks for the advice. I tried that and ended up getting this:

@glambeth‌ that is a known issue of the brew builds: https://github.com/ethereum/homebrew-ethereum/issues/8

See, my comment: https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/issues/698#issuecomment-69774576

All new builds fail (up until where I tried it). Could be fixed (even successful builds somehow failed).

I reverted to an older branch instead, and managed to compile it and get it working properly.
