I want to install git with homebrew. I had MacPorts installed, which I removed from my iMac. I also removed homebrew completely, and reinstalled it with ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)".
After I ran brew doctor I had to delete (I only moved them) some libs inside /usr/local/lib. After that I fixed the $PATH var in my .profile, so that the /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin are overwriting the normal bin dir.
Now I wanted to install git with brew install git. It fetched the content, and begins building git. But during the build, it fails with the message
~$ brew install git

I looked into the /Users/23tux/Library/Logs/Homebrew/git/ and it says, that there are undefined symbols. Here is the output:

(the output is much longer, I only included the last few lines, where the error happened).
I googled a lot, but can’t find any solution. Is this because of some broken things with MacPorts (I know, they don’t like each other)? Or how can I fix that?
EDIT
I just found out, that when I’m running brew doctor, I get this output:
You must: brew install git
You must: brew install git
You must: brew install git
Warning: An outdated version of Git was detected in your PATH.
Git 1.6.6 or newer is required to perform checkouts over HTTP from GitHub.
Please upgrade: brew upgrade git
When I run brew upgrade git I get Error: git not installed. I searched my PATH var for any binary of git (or something else), but can’t find anything.
I think this means, that somewhere there is git stuff left, and it conflicts with the new install. Am I right?
I couldn’t figure out how to install git with homebrew in that case. ‘Cause I didn’t want to waste so much time, I installed the whole rvm, ruby, git stuff with the Rails Installer from here http://railsinstaller.org/. Then it worked with homebrew
