right when I had given up, I think I found a problem that was indeed likely due to me trying to fix too many things at once. I didn't want anyone to waste their time of this before I verified. I think the suggestions about renaming the folders to respond to the error of not finding the compiler was right. I think the problem is to be careful not to change too many things at once. I went back through all the files that I could have changed and made sure everything was default again (I found one that wasn't). Then I went back and removed the 64 from the darwin-x86 folder. The problem was the error was throwing me off thinking it was trying to find the linux-x8664 folder (in the error output) where in the console output, it clearly says it's looking for the folder darwin-x86 instead of -x86_64. The change seems to be working, and I'll know in a couple of minutes. I'm really not sure why the error output would say something different than the console output, but it was. I hope this helps someone out there searching for it in the future. I'll post back when I'm sure everything is working.
