Unfortunately Macports switched to the R14A beta release of erlang - see
<http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25377>.  This is incompatible with all
released versions of rabbitmq.

To fix it, you'll currently need to get the latest rabbitmq-server
source code from our mercurial repository at
<http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-server/>.
