I'm having limited success getting ROS up and running on mac lion and Xcode 4.3.2. I had a version of electric up using dependencies from mac ports, but couldn't get rviz working. Since then fuerte has been released and it looks like that is the only supported install method for mac so I gave it a try. I had a tough time with wxWidgets. The quicktime framework is not 64-bit compatible and I could find a way to rebuild wxWidgets without quicktime. After following the recently updated homebrew instructions (http://ros.org/wiki/fuerte/Installation/OSX/Homebrew/Source) that includes a pointer to downloading binary versions of wxWidgets, I managed to get a successful build.

I am now stuck at <sudo make="" install="">. The roslib egg has failed dependencies as shown below. It can't seem to find rospkg. rospkg is installed here </library>.

Thanks for any help related to this.

I ran <sudo easy_install -U rosinstall vcstools rospkg rosdep> with no errors. Everything was installed into /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/.

I also have this line in my .bashrc export PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:/usr/local/lib/python:$PYTHONPATH"

$echo $PYTHONPATH /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:/usr/local/lib/python

python -c 'import rospkg' error out if /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages is not on the python path otherwise it finds it. Is the goal for rospkg rosdep and the others to be put in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages and not /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages?

Yes, this stuff is supposed to be installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages. Otherwise the instructions wouldn't tell you to add that to your PYTHONPATH.

I thought as much, but it is installed in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages even when I have /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages in the PYTHONPATH. I need to figure out why that is.

I would imagine that if you run python -c 'import rospkg' you get an ImportError, right?

Did you make sure to add

export PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:/usr/local/lib/python:$PYTHONPATH"

to your .bashrc, and source ~/.bashrc?

Were you able to run sudo easy_install -U rosinstall vcstools rospkg rosdep with no errors?
