Hi @dfm794,

I upgraded to 11.2.3 and had similar issue, recent macOS updates seem to brake the Command Line Tools. I reinstalled CLT as mentioned in this article (solution 2): https://medium.com/flawless-app-stories/gyp-no-xcode-or-clt-version-detected-macos-catalina-anansewaa-38b536389e8d

Let me know if that works.

Hi @aurel,

Thanks for the suggestion…I had actually already tried that already to no avail.
However - on a whim I deactivated my conda env. (just the base env that is activated by default). And although I can’t see any difference in the paths applied, the install now works.

Cheers,
David
