Thanks for reporting the issue. It looks like an issue with your standard library setup:

      non-constexpr function 'max' cannot be used in a constant expression
    std::numeric_limits<unsigned char>::max() + 1;

The standard says that std::numeric_limits<T>::max is constexpr since C++11. How did you install Clang 3.3? I currently use 3.2 for development, which ships with XCode.

It looks like your include paths prioritize /usr/include/c++/ although your compiler executable resides in /usr/local/bin. Did you export a CXX environment variable prior to configuring? I.e., export CXX=$(which clang++).

Also, it's a good idea to add --enable-debug to the configure script command line since the rewrite has not yet seen extensive testing.

@Some3141 updating from Xcode 4.6.3 to Xcode 5 DP4 and sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode5-DP4.app/ solved this problem for me.

[soumyabasu]

@zonpantli: Thanks a lot for the tip! I tried it with DP5, but that didn't quite work for me.

What ended up happening was that I removed llvm's version of clang and then re-ran the install script. It currently works now.
