I'm trying to install Hydro on a fresh OS X Mavericks system, but I get hung up during the following command:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro hydro -y

The issue I'm getting is with PIL: Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement PIL. When I try to install PIL manually (using sudo pip install -U PIL --allow-external PIL --allow-unverified PIL), I get stuck at _imagingft.c:73:10: fatal error: 'freetype/fterrors.h' file not found, even though freetype is installed and up to date.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

Note that if you later decide to install ogre with `brew install ogre`, you might need to remove that symlink again for it to compile (at least when I did this a while back it was neccessary).

If you're having issues with installing PIP during the dependencies install, you need to symlink it:

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.5.2/include/freetype2 /usr/local/include/freetype

Don't forget to tab-complete to make sure your version number is accurate. After that, you can manually install pip, then continue with the dependency install:

sudo pip install -U PIL --allow-external PIL --allow-unverified PIL 
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro hydro -y
