`sudo apachectl restart` doesn't work in 10.5.6 you'll get this error:

/usr/sbin/apachectl: line 82: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Invalid argument

in OS X 10.5.6 Apple updated to Apache 2.2.15, which patched quite a few vulnerabilities (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4435) and also broke the apachectl script.

To get sorted, edit /usr/sbin/apachectl and replace line 82

ULIMIT_MAX_FILES="ulimit -S -n `ulimit -H -n`"

The segfault problem with posix_spawn is indeed caused by Lion's compiler being LLVM and not GCC by default. However, when I installed RVM, the notes suggested that on Lion you need to add export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 to your shell startup file (.bashrc or .zshrc as appropriate). I did that, but it seems that's what caused problems: while ruby 1.9.2 needs you to use GCC to install it, using the same compiler for the gems apparently causes breakage.

First, you need to install XCode 4.x, which is now a free (though hefty!) download from the Mac App Store. Without that, you have no gcc, so you won't get anywhere ;-)

Next, what you need to do is clear out your rvm ruby and the associated gems (make sure you are cd'd into your octopress repository then do:

rvm remove ruby-1.9.2 --gems --archive

which will clear everything out so that you can start from scratch. Obviously, if you have other stuff you've installed for other purposes using RVM, be careful with this. If you previously had the export CC li
