I solved that problem by setting the Command Line Tools in Xcode. Go to:

Xcode > Preferences > Locations

And select the command line tool from the dropdown. If you have only one version of Xcode installed, there should be only one option. If you have several versions of Xcode, then you must choose the one you need.
