[mesa-users] Update Question

Thu Oct 31 12:20:58 EDT 2013

Dear Rich

Thank you for your very rapid reply.

This is what we got (it was a new Terminal session):

Last login: Thu Oct 31 15:42:13 on ttys000
iMac-24:~ pamrowden$ which as
iMac-24:~ pamrowden$ xcode-select --install
xcode-select: Error: unknown command option '--install'.

xcode-select: Report or change the path to the active
              Xcode installation for this machine.

Usage: xcode-select --print-path
           Prints the path of the active Xcode folder
   or: xcode-select --switch <xcode_path>
           Sets the path for the active Xcode folder
   or: xcode-select --version
           Prints the version of xcode-select

iMac-24:~ pamrowden$

Will re-installing the MESA SDK solve the problem and, if so, is there
anything we need to do before dropping it in the Applications folder, i.e.
do we need to reinstall anything or just over-write?

I look forward to hearing from you

Pam
