OSX Install problem - rqt_top: No definition of [python-psutil] for OS [osx]

edit

Update 9/23/2013) patch is accepted and the reported issue should not longer be the case.

That's because psutil is missing in OSX' rosdep key.

Here is tentative workaround before the rosdep key gets updated. Since this involves modifying protected area, do it at your own risk.

I have a patch that I haven't submitted since I haven't tested on my local Mac. If you can try (eg. by doing the following steps) that would be great.

Make a backup and modify /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list as follows:

Current: yaml <a href="https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml">https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml</a> osx
New: yaml <a href="https://github.com/130s/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml">https://github.com/130s/rosdistro/raw/master/rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml</a> osx

then run (adjust ROS distro accordingly):

$ rosdep update
$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro hydro -y

which should install psutil via pip.

Be sure to roll back the same file once you've done above.
