Troll. Nothing to see here.<p>Edit:<p>> I am simply trying to develop an application, is there a good reason why I am compiling libxml2 and all of its dependencies?<p>I'm pretty sure that libxml2 has no dependencies other than the standard C library.
If you don't like Mac don't use it. I find it to be a good dev platform, however I run prod on ubuntu and am familiar with using ubuntu too. I wouldn't expect my MacBook to solve deployment / sysadmin issues for me.
Apparently when you code a website on Mac, it matters that Linux has a different process scheduler. PHP rises above all of this, code where you are productive, which for many people is Mac where you have Textmate and others.<p>I would like an official command line package manager, but I fear the iOS-ifcation will make it impossible to add without being contradictory.
