Plv8 installation

Trying to run xTuple on a Mac with a local PostgreSQL installation (via MacPorts), but unable to get plv8 installed?

Received this request from a free demo tester who is looking for an open-source QuickBooks replacement.

HELP FROM Gil Moskowitz, Director of Software Development @xTuple

I heard you were having trouble getting PostgreSQL up and running. Thanks for letting us know.

Have you tried downloading and installing our pre-built plv8? You can get a tarball from http://updates.xtuple.com/updates/plv8/mac/xtuple_plv8.tgz

There are instructions for installing it on GitHub - https://github.com/xtuple/xtuple/wiki/Installing-PLv8

I’m a Mac guy and do most of my development on a MacBook Pro. That includes building and installing PostgreSQL locally from source and installing plv8 on top of that.
