Can't run off fresh install. Unable to load DLL 'libc':

I’m trying to install dotnet on my Mac following the instructions here: https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#macos

However when I try the command “dotnet new” I get the following error:

Anands-MacBook-Pro:~ anandx$ dotnet new

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.DotNet.InternalAbstractions.RuntimeEnvironment' threw an exception. ---> System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Error reading Darwin Kernel Version ---> System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'libc': The specified module could not be found.

Any idea whats going on? I assume since it can’t find libc its some path issue?

DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/opt/local/lib dotnet new

Can confirm @vidstige’s solution works on Mac OS Sierra in Visual Studio Code. Thanks so much!
