I am trying to install ROS Fuerte on OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I followed the step-by-step instructions on: http://www.ros.org/wiki/fuerte/Installation/OSX/Homebrew/Source It was all successful (with a few modifications though) until I get to run:

sudo rosmake -a

Python reports roslib (1.8.9) not found. Anyone can help me trouble shooting that?

Thanks for the reply. I followed the instructions on that page, but still got the same error if I use sudo. If I directly use "rosmake -a" without sudo, then I get a bunch of "Permission denied" such as:

btw: I can find roslib in python, it is at: /opt/ros/fuerte/lib/python2.7/site-packages/roslib-1.8.9-py2.7.egg/

OK, I fixed this by reclaiming the ownership of "~/.ros/" by "sudo chown". It is wired why I did not own this directory though.

There are, however, still other issues. I agree that Fuerte on OSX is buggy. Maybe I should switch to Ubuntu at the first place...

Around the Oct 15th, Groovy should come out and it is supposed to fix a lot of these issues. If you can, maybe hold off until then :)

Kevin, that is great news, though I won't be too optimistic (compatibility is a headache to everyone). But thanks for the hard work! I am going to try ubuntu first, and definitely try Groovy on OSX once it is released.
