MacPorts gives error about xcode version but it's already current

[tom15375@…]

I got this error when installing a package but I already have Xcode 3.2.2 installed. How does MacPorts check xcode version and what can I do? Thanks in advance.

$ sudo port install tuxmath

Error: The installed version of Xcode (3.0) is too old to use on the installed OS version. Version 3.2.2 or later is recommended on Mac OS X 10.6.

MacPorts determines your Xcode version by running "xcodebuild -version" and extracting the displayed Xcode version number. Xcode 3.0 and older did not display the Xcode version number here, so in this case MacPorts falls back to comparing the displayed internal version number of DevToolsCore with a list of known version numbers that correspond to public Xcode version releases. See the macports::setxcodeinfo procedure​. What does "xcodebuild -version" say on your system? What happens if you simply install Xcode 3.2.2 again (possibly using the Dev Tools uninstall script first)?

$ xcodebuild -version
XcodeComponent versions: DevToolsCore-1648.0; DevToolsSupport-1631.0
BuildVersion: 10M2148

Please remember to use WikiFormatting and to preview before submitting. You want to be enclosing your lines of literal output in {{{ and }}}.

My output is:

$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 3.2.2
Component versions: DevToolsCore-1648.0; DevToolsSupport-1631.0
BuildVersion: 10M2148

So, same versions of everything, except that mine shows the Xcode version and yours doesn't. Is it possible your xcodebuild binary is old somehow but the rest of Xcode 3.2.2 is present? Not sure how that would have happened. Does reinstalling Xcode 3.2.2, possibly using the uninstaller first, fix this?

If not, can you show us more info about your xcodebuild binary? Here's some info about mine for comparison:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/xcodebuild
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  76192 Feb 24 01:37 /usr/bin/xcodebuild
$ md5 /usr/bin/xcodebuild 
MD5(/usr/bin/xcodebuild)= 7b79168df9b703f369fbe0455147142f

Here is my output. Haven't tried reinstalling yet.

$ ls -l /usr/bin/xcodebuild
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  76192 Feb 23 23:37 /usr/bin/xcodebuild
$ md5 /usr/bin/xcodebuild
MD5 (/usr/bin/xcodebuild) = 7b79168df9b703f369fbe0455147142f

You probably left out UNIX Development when you installed 3.2.2. Whatever happened, you don't have a complete install of the right version of Xcode.

Also check that if you have multiple Xcode installs, you have the right one selected with xcode-select.

Reinstalling xcode fixed the issue. Thanks a lot for your help.
