Compiling WordNet 3.0 on OSX 10.8.5

Question

I'm trying to get WordNet to work on my Notebook but it fails in the make step of the process as follows:

Both XCode and the command line toolset are installed in their current versions.

Thanks for your help!

I faced same problem on Ubuntu. It got resolved machine when I uninstalled the latest version of Tcl (i was trying it with Tcl 8.6 first). And installed an older version of Tcl 8.4. With older version Wordnet installed flawlessly
