Phalcon install error on Mac "make: *** [phalcon.lo] Error 1"

Question

I've been trying for hours to get Phalcon installed on my Mac, but no luck yet. Everytime i get past one error another seems to pops up.

Right now. The error I'm getting is this (I've shortened it for readability):

make: *** [phalcon.lo] Error 1

If anybody knows how to fix this error It would be a huge help. Thanks

Actually, I too faced the same problem in the beginning, but I realized that the best method to install Phalcon in mac was this :

1. Go to Homebrew and install "Brew"
2. Type this : brew install phalcon

And you will have a fresh install of Phalcon all configured!
