Fix “macports checking for Tcl configuration… configure: error: Can’t find Tcl configuration definitions” when selfupdating Macports in Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks

I’ve just upgraded my Mac OS X to Mavericks 10.9. When I tried to update Macports I got an error and when I used the verbose mode of selfupdate (sudo port -v selfupdate) it came out this:

macports checking for Tcl configuration... configure: error: Can't find Tcl configuration definitions

I fixed the problem after reinstalling the Command Line Tools of Xcode and accepting the license from the command line:

sudo xcode-select --install
sudo xcodebuild -license

Then the selfupdate worked just fine:

sudo port selfupdate
MacPorts, Xcode, , , , ,
