Something is wrong with your Xcode installation, I'd say, but I don't
know what that could be. What does

  xcode-select --print-path

  man xcode-select

(I'm also not a Linux user, on my own computers, never have been. Always
FreeBSD until I switched to OSX/macOS because I needed a working laptop
for work :-)).
