I'd like to add "me too", but on my Mac Book Pro running Yosemite 10.10.4.

After installing libpopt-dev and running the installation with sudo, this error was going away ... but, well, bumped into another one ;-)

We're working on restoring support for OSX, following a regression in 1.8.

Any progress on this? I'm trying to install node bindings, but it fails with the error message

Replicant relies upon the popt library. Please install popt to continue.

So I ran

brew install popt

which ran fine but didn't change anything. I'm on OS X 10.10

Update: Just tried a fresh install on Ubuntu 14.04, it gives the same error. So this isn't just related to OS X.

Added popt with

apt-get install libopt-dev

which solved this error and produced a new one: Missing pkg-config. Ran

apt-get install pkg-config

which solved that error and produced a new one: Missing libhyperleveldb.

Now I am out of luck. Why should it be so hard to try this piece of software out. Can someone point me to a combination of OS + Hyperdex version + node-bindings which will actually install?
