I am setting up an OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) machine as a development machine. For my own personal use I prefer using a Linux box, but between my own nostalgia for Gentoo and the peculiar yet undeniable strength of homebrew, I am perfectly happy to use it as a day-to-day development machine.

In order to use homebrew to its fullest, I edited the /etc/paths file to make things right:

1
2
3
4
5
6

/usr/local/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/sbin
/usr/bin
/sbin
/bin

So far, no problems. Will report back later.
