Is it possible that you did not install the command-line tools?  With recent versions of Xcode, this is a separate step, done after Xcode installation is done.

Open Xcode Preferences, and select Downloads, and then the Components tab.  There should be a line for command line tools.  If it doesn't say downloaded/installed, click that line to start the installation.  Then rerun the Gap installation.

If you do have the tools installed, then I'm out of hunches.
