I'm trying to do a brew install of fontconfig on OS X 10.8.3 and I'm being thrown with a nasty error. I have XCode 4.6.1 installed.
$ brew install fontconfig

There seems to be very little information around this issue and it's pretty painful.
*SOLVED*
Turned out I had the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable set to use with Oracle, and this was causing reference to 32-bit libraries.
Unsetting the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable fixed this.
Anybody using an Oracle client on their mac should be wary of this!
