<div dir="ltr">Hi Peter,<div>Xcode 5.1.1 is installed on my machine, and I have successfully installed older versions of Biopython. I have followed the instructions about installing xcode command line tools, but that also doesn't solve the problem. I installed EPD over a year ago, so I might have to try a fresh install, but was hoping to avoid that if this is a known problem. Since nobody else seems to have run into this problem, I guess it must be specific to something about my machine.</div>

</div>Hi Mark,<br>
<br>
Those problems suggest that XCode itself is not installed. Since<br>
you are running OSX 10.9 this is available for free from the Apple<br>
App Store (but it is a large download).<br>
<br>
i.e. You need to install XCode, *then* the command line tools by<br>
running 'xcode-select --install', or equivalently via the XCode GUI.<br>
<br>
Can you suggest a clearer phrasing for our instructions here?<br>

<br>
Also, since you are using enthought's Python they may offer a<br>
Biopython packaged installation route instead?<br>
<br>
