Aha, hidden dependency.

You need to define a FLEX_HOME environment variable that points to the Flex
SDK directory.
In your ~/.bash_profile add a line like:

set FLEX_HOME=/Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.5/sdks/3.5.0/

(This is from memory, the path may not be 100% correct)

I have exactly the same issue. After setting the environment variable as suggested, the problem persists. Mac OS X 10.7.5

I set the FLEX_HOME variable to the path where the SDK is located on the hard disk.

Bautasteins-MacBook-Pro:mockolate pbholmen$ echo $FLEX_HOME
/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/

PS: I don't know much about shells. I cloned the project just a few minutes ago, and I didn't have a ~/.bash_profile, so I edited ~/.profile instead, and used "export" instead of "set", because that's what was used in that file for other variables. But the result of echo $FLEX_HOME should indicate that the variable is correctly set?

[Bautastein]

Does it matter that I have Java 1.6? Here is the verbose output (I have double checke that $FLEX_HOME is set in the shell):
