I'm trying to build an iPhone application but each and every time (regardless of target settings), XCode returns an error during the linking stage when compiling the XIBs.
I managed to track down the problem: XCode is launching "Interface Builder Cocoa Touch Tool" but this utility immediately crashes on load with the following message:

[mqudsi@iqudsi:~]$ /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Agents/Interface\ Builder\ Cocoa\ Touch\ Tool ; exit;
dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreText.framework/CoreText

Reason: image not found

The path it's searching for, /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreText.framework/, does not exist on my machine, and according to my Time Machine backups, it never did either. I believe CoreText is an iOS-only framework, and it shouldn't be on my machine.
I'm using XCode 4.2.1 and I've attempted to update OS X Lion and to completely remove and reinstall XCode, to no avail.
Anyone know what's going on here? Or how I can avoid the launching of this touch tool (I don't think it's actually required to build?).
I found a fix to my issue. I was running Asepsis by Binary Age and forgot about the XCode incompatibility. If you are running Asepsis then running the uninstaller found here should fix the problem.
