Homebrew doesn't find XCode 4.3

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

Are the requires files in /Developer/usr/bin? Does it help to change the $PATH? – Daniel Beck – 2012-02-16T17:25:36.750

Does it work when you specify --use-llvm? – Daniel Beck – 2012-02-16T17:30:07.193

--use-llvm did not help, same error message. – BetaRide – 2012-02-16T17:52:18.273

There's no /Developer directory. – BetaRide – 2012-02-16T17:52:49.147

What could I change in $PATH? – BetaRide – 2012-02-16T17:53:01.190

Did you actually install Xcode or just download it from the App Store? There should be an application named "Install Xcode" in your applications folder. – Daniel Beck – 2012-02-16T17:57:31.457

It's installed, I can start it and create new projects. – BetaRide – 2012-02-16T17:58:17.503

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? – Daniel Beck – 2012-02-16T18:00:26.723

The download is from the App Store. – BetaRide – 2012-02-16T18:54:28.947

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. – localshred – 2012-02-22T02:40:46.827

You can download the command-line tools separately from http://developer.apple.com/downloads (you need an Apple ID). The package requires Lion. For more details: http://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? – qxotk – 2012-06-16T21:46:57.167

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. – Rebecca Scott – 2012-06-19T02:44:42.783
