I am trying to install ROS in my MacBook OSX 10.6.6.

after doing the command: rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=ros-full&overlay=no"

that appears in "http://www.ros.org/wiki/diamondback/Installation/OSX".

I got this output, can anyone give a hint how to solve this issue? ...

This means that the YAML module for Python was not installed. Are you sure you ran these steps:

{{{ sudo port install wget cmake python_select subversion mercurial sudo python_select python26 sudo easy_install -U pyyaml }}}

in the meanwhile I have written the command: sudo port install py26-yaml . it is now moving :-)

Should this command be added to the wiki instructions?

I've changed the instructions to use py26-yaml instead. We probably need better instructions for getting easy_install itself. My machine is too contaminated to validate proper instructions there.

I had a similar problem http://answers.ros.org/question/385/problem-with-mac-os-installation-with-yaml. I think what I explained over there is pretty much what one needs to do, since I installed ROS on a fresh install of OS X.
