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

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