# Remove it because we're using Passenger's ngnix
$ brew uninstall nginx

$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/nginx
$ sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /opt/nginx

$ LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib CC=gcc passenger-install-nginx-module

# Done!

  1. You can also pass these parameters to the configure script of “passenger-install-nginx-module”

    –with-pcre –with-ld-opt=-L/usr/local/lib

    This assumes you have the pcre libs installed, of course. If you install via homebrew, they’re symlinked so that /usr/local/lib will work
