Install libSVM-3.17 on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks

I'm trying to install libsvm-3.17 in my macOS10.9 machine.

I read this tutorial about the common problem:

/Applications/MATLAB_R2011b.app/bin/mex: line 305: llvm-gcc-4.2: command not found

but it didn't solve the issue. I still got these errors:

/Applications/MATLAB_R2012b.app/bin/mex: line 305: llvm-gcc-4.2: command not found

/Applications/MATLAB_R2012b.app/bin/mex: line 1326: llvm-gcc-4.2: command not found

mex: compile of ' "libsvmread.c"' failed.

If make.m fails, please check README about detailed instructions.

Does anybody know if the problem is the fact that I'm using OSX10.9? In this case, any idea about the solution?

The easiest way to do this kind of thing is to use one of the popular package managers in OS X, for example I prefer homebrew: 

$ brew install libsvm

==> make CFLAGS=
