Hi Oscar,

sorry for the delay.

Hi,

I followed the walk through to install omero server 4.4 in Mac Lion
using homebrew.
(http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero4/sysadmins/unix/server-install-homebrew.html)
All the steps up to ./omero_homebrew.sh are done. However when I was
trying to install omero using "brew install omero", it says "you must
brew install git". But git was already installed, because when I did
"brew install git", it said "git-1.8.0 already installed". Since it
doesn't let me install omero with brew, I had to install it manually.

That is surprising indeed. Here are a couple of questions:
- where is brew installed i.e. what is the output of `which -a brew` and
`brew --prefix`?
- which packages are installed, i.e what is the output of `brew list`?

After I compiled Omero, I tried to run the executable "omero" under
/dist/bin and python suddenly crashed "Fatal Python error: Interpreter
not initialized (version mismatch?)". I installed python 2.7 with
brew. It seemed this error has to do with Ice. I installed Ice 3.4 by
just downloading the precompiled Ice3.4 tar ball from omero website,
unzip it and add the environment variables accordingly including
ICE_HOME, etc. I remember seeing it somewhere Ice 3.4 might not be
compatible with OSX 10.7. Do I have to download Ice-3.3 instead? How
do I fix this problem?

Looks more like a pure Python issue here. What is the output of `which python` and
`python -version` ? And do you have the Homebrew Python in your PATH and
PYTHONPATH?

Re Ice, if you followed the Homebrew walkthrough instructions, Ice 3.3 should have been
installed as part of the dependencies (`brew --prefix zeroc-ice33`). We  are still having
issues when installing OMERO with  Ice 3.4 using Homebrew. This is definitely on our todo list.
