  • xcode-select --install does not install headers into /usr/include on current macOS. On macOS 27.0.1 with the Command Line Tools, /usr/include does not exist; the headers are in the SDK that xcrun --show-sdk-path reports (for example /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/stdio.h).
  • Typo: libzma → liblzma.

xcode-select --install does not put the system headers in /usr/include
on current macOS; they are in the SDK reported by xcrun --show-sdk-path.
Also fix a typo: libzma -> liblzma.
