Thank you very much, works fine!

It also solve a problem I had while installing Rails. I got this error:

mkmf.rb can’t find header files for ruby at /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h

But after your fix I can execute “sudo gem install rails” without problem.

Again, thanks a lot!

Thanks bro! This fixed it.

I was also hoping to find a way to migrate Xcode 3 projects to Xcode 4 without too much pain. That will have to be another google search.

Thanks again for posting the fix for MacPorts.

Thanks a ton! Was tearing out hair trying to figure this out, considering I’d already uninstalled earlier versions of XCode before upgrading…

Not just a MacPorts fix — homebrew’s `brew doctor` will check this setting and recommend setting it (as above) if it’s not correct.

I think so. I did it on my machine and so far everything is OK.
The whole content is duplicated under /Applications/Xcode.app

Hi! Thank you very much, it works like a charm. Only one question: is it safe to delete the old /Developer directory?

+1, this worked for me on 10.7 lion with both xcode 3.2.6 and xcode 4.3.2… macports wouldn’t upgrade:

Error: The installed version of Xcode (3.2.6) is too old to use on the installed OS version. Version 4.1 or later is recommended on Mac OS X 10.7.
Error: Problem while installing pkgconfig
