xcrun can't find Xcode path

Question

Mac OS X 10.8.2
Xcode 4.5.2 (installed at /Applications/Xcode.app)

Tried
xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app
After that
xcode-select -print-path
outputs correct path (/Applications/Xcode.app). But
xcrun -find gcc
fails with error
xcrun: Error: could not stat active Xcode path '/Developer/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer'. (No such file or directory).

Update 1:
Here are permission specifiers

ls -l /Applications/Xcode.app

Answer 1

Fixed! In terminal:

$ DEVELOPER_DIR="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/"  
$ export DEVELOPER_DIR  

Explanation:
While reading man xcrun I noticed that there is DEVELOPER_DIR environment variable that takes precedence of xcode-select. So here we are setting that variable to correct path.

Lonne

This answer is probably not idea since xcode-select should be able to configure the path automatically without the need for maintaining an extra environment variable. See answer from @Duologue – Slipcover

Just to clarify, you can just do this: xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/ without having to specify environment variable. – Goddamned

Great its Working fine for me.! – Malachi

Answer 2

Run this to set your Developer folder:

sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Duologue

Thanks, worked for me! Exporting only the path wasn't successful. – Seymour

Answer 3

Open Xcode > Preferences > Locations > Select your Xcode version from the dropdown and exit Xcode ref

Jemena

That was really easy! Thanks! – Elisavetpol

Answer 4

Do the following steps

Open Xcode

Preferences->Locations->Command Line Tools-> Select Xcode Version

Answer 5

I have tried all the possible options:

• Re-installing Xcode
• Changed all sort of paths
• re-installed developer tools
• I even re-installed the operating system!

Downloading the latest GIT version from Here did the trick though.

I believe it's an error from upgrading the operating system. I think a clean/format reinstall would have fixed it as well (since all the settings are being kept)

Please note: Restart the current Terminal window & This is not a temporary solution.

Answer 6

Add the following line to '~/.bashrc' file:

export DEVELOPER_DIR=”/Applications/XCode.app/Contents/Developer”

run source ~/.bashrc , and restart terminal.

Answer 7

sudo xcode-select --switch path/to/Xcode.app

Worked in my case.
