Couch DB installation does not work on Mac OSx Lion

Question

I am having trouble installing Couch DB on Mac OSx Lion using Homebrew. I execute the command

brew install couchdb

but then I have a problem with mmd5 in the file
~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/spidermonkey-1.8.5.tar.gz

How can I continue?

UPDATE

I figured out how to fix the problem:

you need to delete the file

rm ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/spidermonkey-1.8.5.tar.gz

and update your Homebrew by running

brew update

you may have a problem with git here (like mine) to allow it to reset all local changes to homebrew by running

git reset --hard
git clean -f -x -d

and run

brew update

and now it should be direct to install couchdb

brew install couchdb

(if you use LION):

brew install -v couchdb

to run its type

couchdb
