I'm trying to build the catkin workspace on Mac OS X (ROS installation using Homebrew) and per the installation wiki,

We will use the catkin_make_isolated command because there are both catkin and plain cmake packages in the base install, when developing on your catkin only workspaces you should use catkin/commands/catkin_make.

Invoke catkin_make_isolated: "$ ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release"

I tried doing that and after a bunch of packages names listed, I get an error message. It seems to be something related to CMake and CatKin but I'm new to this and I don't exactly know what's happening here.

Below is the message (flow) after I run the above command.

Could you attach the contents of the file /Users/voladoddi/ros_catkin_ws/build_isolated/catkin/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log, please?

Thanks all for helping out. I did try it out and I got stuck elsewhere. Installed a Ubuntu virtual machine and it has increased the speed of learning ROS by much.

There is an error message that says:

CMake Error at cmake/empy.cmake:28 (message):
Unable to find either executable 'empy' or Python module 'em'...  try
installing package 'python-empy'

Have you tried to follow the suggestion of installing the package python-empy?

Which instructions are you following? In these install instructions http://wiki.ros.org/hydro/Installatio... the step before "Building the catkin Workspace" is "Resolving Dependencies", and rosdep should have installed empy for you.
