It is a clean install of Mavericks before I run the first configure, so I am OK with the dialog. The dialog offers two options: one is install Xcode, one is download and install compilers. (I cannot remember the exact words). I chose the latter because I don't need an IDE. It seems this option installs the compiler and tools like make but has not included xcodebuild. This is why I see the error message in my second configure run. As I said, I created my own fake xcodebuild to tell the configure (3rd run) it's Xcode 5, configure happily accepts it this time, and then the build goes fine. That seems to show xcodebuild is not necessary and Xcode is not necessary. Thanks Max > > Cheers, > Henry
