[tahoe-dev] Installation on MacOS failed

[Richard Johnson]

clang is likely missing from the default $PATH because Apple separated out
a number of command line tools, including clang, after Xcode 4 release.

While they're still present inside various packages within Xcode, they
move around between releases.

A web search for 'command line tools for xcode' should yield instructions
for downloading and installing from within Xcode.

The command line tools download will put clang and other binaries in
directories typically included in the default $PATH.
