 Description   

When trying to install MongoDB Ver. 2.5.4 on my MacBook running Mavericks, I got an error as follows

'Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root or sudo'.

Just FYI, I am the Administrator on my Mac machine.

After again agreeing to Xcode and installing it, I tried "brew update" again and this time I received the following

Error: undefined method 'to_sym' for nil:NilClass

Brew update doesn't really work for devel versions.

Can you try running "brew uninstall mongodb" followed by "brew install mongodb --devel"?
