react-native init AwesomeProject - fails to build - react-native

Question

I cannot get a vanilla react-native project to build immediately after running react-native init. I have not made any changes to the project, nor run other commands.
Commands/output:
> react-native init AwesomeProject
> cd AwesomeProject
> react-native run-ios
....
** BUILD FAILED **
The following commands produced analyzer issues:
Analyze Base/RCTModuleMethod.mm normal x86_64
Analyze RCTVibration.m normal x86_64
(2 commands with analyzer issues)
The following build commands failed:
CompileC build/RCTVibration.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/RCTVibration.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/RCTVibration.o RCTVibration.m normal x86_64 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler

After looking around StackOverflow, I tried:
rm -rf node_modules
rm -fr $TMPDIR/react-*
watchman watch-del-all
Using react-native run-ios still failed. FWIW, I did open the project in XCode and tried to build it there. I received a build error "/Users/local/common/native-attempt/AwesomeProject/node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Text/RawText/RCTRawTextViewManager.h:8:9: 'React/RCTViewManager.h' file not found". Different error, but I assume it is related.
Really pulling my hair out... any help appreciated.
