Problem detecting yaml-cpp in Hydro installation on MACOS Maveriks

I'm trying to install ROS hydro on a macbook running Maveriks 10.9.5. The machine setup was cloned from a Lion machine which means I've had some problems with out-of-date dependencies and so on. My current problem comes when the system tries to build camera_calibration_parsers which fails with the error

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:16 (if): if given arguments:

"VERSION_GREATER" "0.5"

Unknown arguments specified

I _have_ managed to do a fresh-ish install of ROS on an iMAC running Maveriks 10.9.5 so I suspect the problem is legacy libraries on this machine. By comparing the two installations it looks like the build is failing to instantiate YAML_CPP_VERSION (and a bunch of other YAML based variables used by cmake)

The problem may be that yaml doesn't appear in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages but instead appears in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages . I've uninstalled and reinstalled pip (making sure I have the correct version) but this doesn't seem to have made a difference. rosdep claims to be able to find everything it needs.

I'm a little wary of trying something drastic (like deleting the contents of /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages) so was wondering if anyone had a clearer idea why catkin_make_isolated can't detect yaml properly

Isn't yaml-cpp a C++ library, not a Python library?

Yes. I finally tracked the problem down to the fact that pkg-config was not installed in /usr/local/bin for some reason.

Can you please explain how did you fix the problem in detail?

Hi, I am having a similar problem when installing ROS on OS X 10.11.4.

Cmake couldn't find yaml-cpp so the first part of ${YAML_CPP_VERSION} VERSION_GREATER 0.5 was empty, leading to the error message. Installing the library fixed the issue for me (sudo apt-get install libyaml-cpp-dev). Answer provided in this post.

I'm encountering the same issue you are, but pkg-config is installed in /usr/local/bin for me. Any suggestions?

I found this link which gave some more insights, but still hasn't solved the problem.
