XCode crashes on startup

When I startup Xcode I get the following error:

The application Xcode quite unexpectedly. Clicking on the Report... button gives the following:

Application Specific Information:

objc[875]: *** GC capability of application and some libraries did not match
...

The full detail can be seen here. I've never used Xcode before (although I did run it when I first installed it). Any ideas on what could be causing this?

From stackoverflow
  • Download and install the latest version of Xcode. That's what I did to fix this issue.

  • If you just installed safari 4, either revert back to 3 or install the latest version of Xcode. Hope that helps

    Abdullah Jibaly : Yes, I did install Safari 4... Any help on installing the lastest version of Xcode (I already ran System Update)?

    Abdullah Jibaly : Got it, Apple Dev Connection. Thanks!
    Robert S. : @Abdullah, this is precisely the situation I was in. :)
    mt3 : uninstalling safari 4 beta does not eliminate the problem; you must upgrade xcode
