Problems on Mavericks with only Command Line Tools installed #341

I have installed the Command Line Tools:

$ xcode-select --print-path
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

However, when anything tries to use node-gyp, I get the following error:

$ npm install bcrypt
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/bcrypt
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/bcrypt
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/bindings/1.0.0
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/bindings/1.0.0

> bcrypt@0.7.7 install /Users/Oliver/Development/sbscribe/node_modules/bcrypt
> node-gyp rebuild

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

gyp: Error 1 running xcodebuild

On Mountain Lion it was possible to use this without installing the whole of Xcode, rather just the Command Line Tools. Is it possible to do this on Mavericks? How can I get it working?

N.B. This is on a clean install of Mavericks.
