Cannot get lbdb installed by Homebrew to link to Mac addressbook

I've had this working in the past, but cannot seem to get this working
with lbdb installed by brew.

1) I have installed lbdb with brew (brew install lbdb)
2) I have the following in my .lbdbrc (located in my /home directory):

METHODS="m_muttalias m_osx_addressbook"

3) I have the following in my .muttrc:

set query_command="/usr/local/bin/lbdbq '%s'"

4)  However, when I type part of a name in the "To:" field of mutt and
then "Control-T" I get the following error:

/usr/local/bin/lbdbq: line 74: m_muttalias_query: command not found
/usr/local/bin/lbdbq: line 74: m_osx_addressbook_query: command not
found

5) I have these in /usr/local/lib:

I'm happy to provide any additional info about my setup.

Thanks!

The last I looked at this, lbdb provided by homebrew doesn't build under 
10.7 and XCode 4.  Neither do the files build by hand without brew if 
you get the files from the lbdb website.  It's the Address Book 
integration part - the XCode project file is old, etc., and no longer 
works.

I fixed up and actually wrote a brew recipe for it.  I tried to contact 
the lbdb authors to accept the changes but they've never responded.  
So... You can download my fork of the project with the corrections from 
git, as well as my brew recipe, which is much simpler than the current 
brew recipe.  The brew recipe below references the patched lbdb files, 
so you should be able to download the recipe and run the following I 
think:

     brew install https://raw.github.com/tgray/brewalt/master/lbdb.rb

Or download the recipe, cd to the location of it, and run:
     
     brew install ./lbdb.rb

Thanks.  I uninstalled the version I had before and installed yours. 
However, I'm still seeing the same error:

$ lbdbq
/usr/local/bin/lbdbq: line 74: m_muttalias_query: command not found
/usr/local/bin/lbdbq: line 74: m_osx_addressbook_query: command not
found
lbdbq: no matches

Did I miss something?

Looking in my .lbdb/lbdbrc file, I have the following line:

     MODULES_PATH="/usr/local/lib"

I'm not sure if you need it or not; that might be the default location and
lbdbq might search there automatically.  But I would check to see if you 
have the m_osx_addressbook_query command in your /usr/local/lib.  It 
should be symlinked to something like 
/usr/local/Cellar/lbdb/0.38/lib/m_osx_addressbook.  It sounds like it's 
not there for some reason.

Thanks.  That was the problem.  Had the old macports path for modules. 
Once I changed it, all is working again.
