Home brew install help

Hello,

I have been trying to get through the install ruby course. But keep running into an error. I have the osx/gcc, git, and ruvy installed arleady from other courses.

I run the: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

error is : "Failed during: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/xcode=select --install"

or

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/gist/323731)"

error is: curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 400 Bad Request

Any help is greatly appreciated! This has me stopped in my tracks.

it looks like its trying to install the xcode command line tools. try installing the xcode command line tools yourself by running the following command in a terminal window 

xcode-select --install

and follow the onscreen prompts

then after the install is complete run curl command again

Hey Preston,

Thank you for responding.

I ran the xcode-select --install. This is what results:

Usage: xcode-select -print-path or: xcode-select -switch or: xcode-select -version Arguments: -print-path Prints the path of the current Xcode folder -switch Sets the path for the current Xcode folder -version Prints xcode-select version information

Am I suppose to use one of the arguments to change something? I ran the curl command again after and still received the same error.

Thanks again,

Jordan A.

The xcode-select --install does not work. I have tried reinstalling xcode, reinstalled the command line tools from developer site. Reran the curl script, but I still receive "Failed during: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select --install" when I attempt to run the curl script.

I've been trying to work past this for over a week now.

Any more advice/hints would be greatly appreciated.
