git error "unable to locate xcodebuild" after a fresh OS X Mavericks upgrade

Question

When I try to run previously working git commands, I get this:

dyld: Symbol not found: _sqlite3_intarray_bind
  Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreData.framework/Versions/A/CoreData
  Expected in: /opt/local/lib/libsqlite3.dylib
 in /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreData.framework/Versions/A/CoreData
git: error: unable to locate xcodebuild, please make sure the path to the Xcode folder is set correctly!
git: error: You can set the path to the Xcode folder using /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

This works for me sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/

Answer 2

After a much googling and confusion, the following steps lead to a solution (with Xcode installed). Some might be optional, so please feel free to elaborate on this as I am not an expert on these errors.

• download mavericks command line tools https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
• xcode-select --install
• sudo xcode-select -switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
• brew install sqlite3
• commented out DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH entry in my .bashrc file

Answer 3

On MacOS Mojave this worked for me (git 2.21.0):

xcode-select --install
sudo xcode-select -switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Answer 4

If you have already installed Xcode, you can run the following command to determine and point to the correct location

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Or use AppStore to install latest Xcode.
