xcrun/lipo freezes with OS X Mavericks and XCode 4.x

Question

Been trying to install psycopg2 with either easy_install or pip, and the terminal gets stuck in a loop between xcrun and lipo.

sidwyn$ sudo easy_install psyc         


        

Answer 1

I got the same problem, fixed by replace the /usr/bin/lipo with an old one from Max OS 10.7.

Update: replace /usr/bin/lipo with /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin will work. You need Xcode application or img file.
