Hi,

I'm trying to install and run ROS on Mac OS 10.7 on a MacBook Pro, and I'm using the homebrew instructions at http://www.ros.org/wiki/electric/Installation/OSX/Homebrew. I proceed through the steps successfully until 1.6 when i enter

rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=electric&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no"

and the download completes sucessfully ( i think), then the last lines are

(Over-)Writing setup.sh, setup.bash, and setup.zsh in /Users/adamhaber/ros Bootstrapping ROS build Detected ros_comm bootstrapping it too.

before the install hangs. The issue may be similar to this one http://answers.ros.org/question/30339/ros-installation-on-mac-with-homebrew but I have tried the recommendations for that to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated

I cannot reproduce your problem, but I did run into issues with rosinstall. Ticket and patch here: https://kforge.ros.org/vcstools/trac/ticket/36 Try running sudo pip install --upgrade rosinstall vcstools and try again.

hi william, thanks for your response! i ran your suggested upgrade of rosinstall, unfortunately the install hangs in exactly the same place! any ideas how to troubleshoot this issue?

Adam, I am still unable to reproduce this bug. Can you put the complete output of rosinstall in a gist.github.com and add it to the original question?
