install_name_tool reporting malformed object

Question

Everytime I try to use install_name_tool on my machine it reports the following

install_name_tool: object: Abacate malformed object (unknown load command 4)
         


        

Answer 1

Apparently install_name_tool is not updated when XCode is updated. You need to install the Command Line Tools from XCode Preferences. See also install_name_tool on OS X Lion. This resolved the same error for me.
