Hello:
I'm having a problem with "svn update" (with R-Forge) that may be
due to a recent upgrade to OS X 10.11 El Capitan. I'm getting the
following:
$ svn update
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path
(/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at:
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
Google sent me to
"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28706428/invalid-active-developer-path-on-mac-os-x-after-installing-ruby"
and "https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/23500" for ruby and
git. Stackoverflow seems to suggest that "sudo xcode-select --install"
may fix the problem. However, I know so little about this, I felt a
need to ask here.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Spencer

I think you should read the R manual, https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#OS-X which tells you 1) To reinstall the CLT after an OS update. 2) To use xcode-select --install to do so. (sudo may or may not be needed.) And after all these years, please do read and follow the posting guide: it is expected that you check in the manuals before posting.

Thanks very much for the reply -- and for all the work you've invested
in producing the fine manual. You're correct, of course, that I should
have checked that manual.
Thanks again,
