evertything works perfect except xml-prctest

I user macops High serar 10.13.3
use clang++
Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin17.4.0

who could possible worng here ?

Worked fine on a fresh install of MacOS 10.13.4 only needing to change line 7 to

sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/*

Thanks so much , I’m wondering and this is probably not the best place to ask but I can’t find documentation anywhere for this , I have a full rtorrent / rutorrent autodl seedbox running on 10.12. I’ve tried to migrate the web server over to 10.13 and Apache seems to be completely different and breaks completely completely. Are any of you running rutorrent with this on high Sierra ?

Thanks. I got it working, but before I did CC=clang... on the rtorrent folder, I had to run

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

Because my libtorrent was installed there.

for people who get ^ error
do 👍
./configure --disable-instrumentation
and make install

Thanks for your guide, but when I try to "make" rtorrent I get the following error:

Any clues?
