    We saved the configure log, please gist it if you report the issue:

Please help me to fix this. I have installed the new OS and xcode 4.3.

I'm surprised the output lists "Xcode: 3.2.2" and no Clang/GCC installed. How did you install Xcode? — Stephen Rudolph
I have to explicitly install GCC compiler to make brew work. I had installed OS X, then GCC, brew, and now everything works fine — user671054

You need to install the CLI tools. Open Preferences in Xcode, go to Downloads and install the "Command Line Tools".
