There seems to be a kind of person who, after waiting in line for 5 hours at the Apple store needs to slowly walk from the beginning of the line to the end, video taping everyones face as they notice some smug asshole pointing an iPhone 4 at them. (full disclosure: I am currently in line.)

Install rabbitmq on Mac OS X quickly with Homebrew

install Homebrew

--HEAD seems to break things right now.

brew install erlang --HEAD # (--HEAD is much faster because it uses github instead of the slow erlang servers)

brew install rabbitmq

Update: I tried to speed up the erlang download by installing erlang first with the --HEAD option and then installing rabbitmq. Unfortunately, if the erlang version is HEAD, the rabbitmq formula ignores it and downloads it slowly anyway. I was able to make the rabbitmq formula find erlang by symlinking HEAD to R13B04. Unfortunately, that counts as manual intervention and I don’t think it’s worth it. Maybe I’ll try to change the rabbitmq formula to just use whatever erlang is available. For now, just do a simple “brew install rabbitmq”.
