The problem was that the Xcode command line tools weren't installed. Apparently after doing the update from OS X 10.8 to 10.9 the old Xcode 5 is still OK, but the command line tools have to be re-installed. After installing the Xcode command line tools by typing xcode-select --install in the terminal everything works.

Please close with status "user error".

Yup, the migration instructions have long mentioned the need to reinstall Xcode and command line tools after upgrading the OS.
