The dependencies were out of date. Homebrew doesn't have a formula called berkeley-db5, berkeley-db *is* version 5.3.28. I've also stripped out the language about forcing OpenSSL to link, because with the build process it shouldn't even be necessary, and it's an incredibly incredibly bad idea to force OpenSSL into ``` /usr/local ```. Even if we did need it in the path, which we shouldn't because pkg-config should find the Homebrew OpenSSL build path automatically, we could temporarily add the Homebrew OpenSSL to the $PATH with an export command rather than forcing a permanent link. This change was adopted by Bitcoin a few days back.

Setup
Dogecoin Core is the original Dogecoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Dogecoin transactions (which is currently several GBs); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more. Thankfully you only have to do this once. If you would like the process to go faster you can download the blockchain directly
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Dogecoin on your native platform.
Unix
You need the Qt4 run-time libraries to run Dogecoin-Qt. On Debian or Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libqtgui4
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
- bin/32/dogecoin-qt (GUI, 32-bit) or bin/32/dogecoind (headless, 32-bit)
- bin/64/dogecoin-qt (GUI, 64-bit) or bin/64/dogecoind (headless, 64-bit)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run dogecoin-qt.exe.
OSX
Drag Dogecoin-Qt to your applications folder, and then run Dogecoin-Qt.
