Installing vacuum-cairo with the help of HomeBrew

I tried in­stalling vacuum-cairo on OS X 10.6 but it failed. With the help of HomeBrew I in­stalled the de­pend­en­cies by do­ing the fol­low­ing:

Be sure to run brew update first.

Then in­stall the de­pend­en­cies:

brew install pkg-config
brew install glib
brew install librsvg
chmod u+w /usr/local/Cellar/gdk-pixbuf/2.23.5/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
brew install librsvg
brew install pango

Note the in­stalling of librsvg twice, this is in ac­cord­ance with https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/4970. If you don’t get an er­ror after run­ning the first in­stall of librsvg you might have a new up­date brew of librsvg.

And fi­nally in­stall vacuum-cairo:

cabal install vacuum-cairo
