Question

Attempting to install the zlib-devel on mac os x mavericks with homebrew doesn't work:

brew install zlib-devel
Error: No available formula for zlib-devel 
Searching taps...

This install

brew install zlib

works fine though.

Answer 1

Just run in the command line:

xcode-select --install

In OS X 10.9+, the command line developer tools are now installed on demand. So after running this also zlib and zlib-devel should be available (no need for brew install zlib...)
