MacOS – Can’t find/run `configure` script on mac os 10.8

$PATH should contain these folders: /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin.

Try editing ~/.bash_profile, ~/.profile, or ~/.bash_login (with for example /usr/bin/open ~/.bash_profile -a TextEdit) and commenting out any lines that modify the path.

If that works, you can add a line like export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH to ~/.bash_profile.

From what I'm seeing in the developer's scripts here, it looks like he is recommending that you install Xcode over the top of his "osx-gcc-installer" to be able to uninstall...At that point, you can run the uninstall-devtools script...

From the developer:

If something doesn't work as expected, feel free to install Xcode over this installation.

Once installed, you can remove Xcode completely with the following:

sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools -mode=all

Alternately, you can copy and paste the actual script content into a blank text document (maybe named "uninstall-devtools"), make it editable (chmod 755 uninstall-devtools), and then execute it (sudo ./uninstall-devtools -mode=all):

# NAME
#     uninstall-devtools -- Meta-script for running the various devtools uninstaller scripts.
#
# SYNOPSIS
#     sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
#     sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=xcodedir
#     sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=unixdev
#     sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=systemsupport
#
# Where the specified 'mode' value invokes the following devtools uninstaller scripts:
#
#     all:
#         /Library/Developer/Shared/uninstall-devtools
#         /Library/Developer/4.2/uninstall-devtools
#         /Developer/Library/uninstall-developer-folder
#
#     xcodedir:
#         /Developer/Library/uninstall-developer-folder
#
#     unixdev:
#         /Library/Developer/Shared/uninstall-devtools
#
#     systemsupport:
#         /Library/Developer/Shared/uninstall-devtools
#         /Library/Developer/4.2/uninstall-devtools
#
# The default value for 'mode' is 'all'.
#
# DESCRIPTION
#     This command runs the appropriate devtools uninstaller scripts according to the usage
#     specified on the command line.

This is a meta-script which invokes one or more of the devtools
uninstaller scripts, depending on which mode you select.

The recognized modes are:
all:
    /Library/Developer/Shared/uninstall-devtools
    /Library/Developer/4.2/uninstall-devtools
    /Developer/Library/uninstall-developer-folder

xcodedir:
    /Developer/Library/uninstall-developer-folder

unixdev:
    /Library/Developer/Shared/uninstall-devtools

systemsupport:
    /Library/Developer/Shared/uninstall-devtools
    /Library/Developer/4.2/uninstall-devtools

The default value for 'mode' is 'all'.
