Description

@RandomDSdevel

Please follow the general troubleshooting steps first:

  • Ran brew update and retried your prior step? N/A (See below…)
  • Ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried your prior step? N/A (See below…)
  • If you're seeing permission errors tried running sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)? N/A (See below…)

N. b.: The items in the previous checklist are not applicable to this issue because it describes a problem with Homebrew's installation environment.

Bug reports:

Well, it appears that Apple may have botched the deployment of Xcode 8's command-line tools for OS X v10.11.x 'El Capitan,' as the App Store has not yet presented me with an update notification to install them and they don't seem to be on Apple Developer Connection's manual 'Downloads for Apple Developers' page, either. I imagine that this might end up causing some problems for Homebrew's user base, so I filed this issue. I've also posted a question on the Apple Developer Forums. It appears that I'm not the only person who's noticed this deficiency, either, as I was also able to find another user's forum post earlier this afternoon.

N. b.: Accessing most of the ADC links and all of the Apple Developer Forum links I included in the paragraph above requires a valid free or paid Apple Developer account.


P. S.: Apparently, I'm a bit late to the party on this one! Some of the relevant issues and pull requests were actually filed before I posted this one! In any case, here's a list of the other relevant issues:
