Homebrew doesn't find XCode 4.3

Question

When I try to install something with homebrew I get an error message that it does not find XCode. But I just installed XCode 4.3 and also did a reboot.

admins-MacBook-Pro-2:~ ernst$ brew install macvim
Warning: Xcode is not installed! Builds may fail!
Error: No such file or directory - /usr/bin/cc
admins-MacBook-Pro-2:~ ernst$ 

Any ideas?

Update:

admins-MacBook-Pro-2:~ ernst$ which cc
admins-MacBook-Pro-2:~ ernst$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
admins-MacBook-Pro-2:~ ernst$ 

Solution

I had the same problem and found the solution in Homebrew's issues page. Open Xcode, open Preferences, select Downloads, and install Command Line Tools. Once it is installed Homebrew should work.

Are the requires files in /Developer/usr/bin? Does it help to change the $PATH?

[HikeMike]

Does it work when you specify --use-llvm?

[BetaRide]

--use-llvm did not help, same error message.

[BetaRide]

There's no /Developer directory.

What could I change in $PATH?

[BetaRide]

It's installed, I can start it and create new projects.

Where was the Xcode application bundle installed to? What is the output of which cc on the command line? What's the output of echo $PATH? Did you download it from the Apple Developer Connection website or the App Store?

[BetaRide]

The download is from the App Store.

Weird cause I was under the impression that you wouldn't need XCode to get those tools but couldn't find them anywhere. Thanks for this answer, been frustrating me.

You can download the command-line tools separately from developer.apple.com/downloads (you need an Apple ID). The package requires Lion. For more details: kennethreitz.com/xcode-gcc-and-homebrew.html

I installed brew and only the command line tools, but brew doctor says I need to run xcode-select to set the path - what do I set it to?

[Rebecca Scott]

According to my system, xcode-select -print-path == /. So I guess set it to the root path. I recall this was part of the problem, it gets set or used to be set to /Developer when the developer tools were installed to /Developer/usr/bin, which changed in the newer version. YMMV.
