Hi, I'm trying to install ROS on Mac OSX 10.8.1, following electric Homebrew Installation. And after fixing(hopefully) the boost lib problem, new one comes:

[ rosmake ] Generating Install Script using rosdep then executing. This may take a minute, you will be prompted for permissions. . . [ rosmake ] rosdep install failed: unrecognized version: 10.8.1

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/rosinstall", line 16, in <module> sys.exit(not rosinstall_main(sys.argv)) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/rosinstall/rosinstall_cli.py", line 228, in rosinstall_main options.catkinpp) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/rosinstall/rosinstall_cmd.py", line 100, in cmd_generate_ros_files subprocess.check_call("source %s && rosmake ros%s --rosdep-install%s" % (os.path.join(path, 'setup.sh'), ros_comm_insert, rosdep_yes_insert), shell=True, executable='/bin/bash') File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 511, in check_call raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'source /Users/Klinux/ros/setup.sh && rosmake ros ros_comm --rosdep-install' returned non-zero exit status 1

I searched on google but didn't get any results, so could anybody help me out of this? Thanks a lot...

I ran into a similar issue installing Fuerte. Adding a version number for Mountain Lion to rospkg/os_detect.py:220 fixed the issue for me.

_osx_codename_map = {4: 'tiger', 5: 'leopard', 6: 'snow', 7: 'lion', 8: 'mountain lion'}

I'm not sure where that map is used in the rest of ROS so someone with more knowledge of the system than me might could comment on whether a space is acceptable in the os name.

thanks for your answer, actually after that I pass the making, strange though, but new problem comes out.... and I change to ubuntu. so I cannot test if your suggestion does the trick or not. but thanks anyway.

Yes I have the same problem here - not clear if ROS is working with the mountain lion OS yet

I run ROS on 10.8.2, but the GUI stuff doesn't compile right now. There is also a limitation with the ros_pcl stuff. But the majority of ROS runs. Hopefully when groovy comes out soon, most of these issues will be fixed.
