Why I Hate My Mac...

I've had my MacBook for a few years now and I keep running into the same problem:

ariel@bloodchoke$ sudo strace -p 1144
sudo: strace: command not found
ariel@bloodchoke$ sudo /usr/sbin/strace -p 1144
sudo: /usr/sbin/strace: command not found
ariel@bloodchoke$ brew install strace
Error: No available formula for strace

UPDATE: I no longer hate my Mac, I am just frustrated with it. Thanks to Jim Nicholson for pointing out that FreeBSD offers a similar utility called truss. Brendan Gregg created a version of truss for the Mac that is built on dtrace.
Running it on the EventMachine tutorial "echo server", this is what I say...

ariel@bloodchoke$ sudo dtruss -f -p 200 
......

There is no output file switch and there does not seem to be a way to increase system select function calls. The other thing I cannot seem to understand is why the file descriptor is nota simple integer. Using hex sucks.
