Yup, the behavior of Xcode is different between 10.8 and 10.9, even for the 5.x series which works on both. --install only is a valid option for 10.9 and 10.10. You can use the command-line tools standalone, if you’d like, though you won’t be able to build those packages which need SDKs from Xcode.app. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
