The fix is documented here: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/4782

It consists of adding a line in the readline formula file: /usr/local/Library/Formula/readline.rb right before the system command:

    inreplace 'support/shobj-conf', 'darwin[89]*|darwin10*)', 'darwin[89]*|darwin1[01]*)'

MacPorts is out. Say hello to HomeBrew

Uninstall MacPorts and all your ports
