installing MemCacheD on Mac OS X with MacPorts

installing MemCacheD on Mac OS X with MacPorts couldn't be easier:

1. as long as you have MacPorts (frmly DarwinPorts) installed on your Mac, just open up a bash shell and type the following:

$ sudo port install memcached
Because memcached utilizes libevent, MacPorts will check to see if libevent-dev is found... if it is not, it will fetch libevent-1.3d.tar.gz from http://monkey.org/~provos/, verify checksum, install... then likewise fetch memcached, verify checksum, extract, configure, install. This currently at the time of this post installs memcached 1.2.2_1.
