You should be more specific, If it was anything like my problem, you don't have any rule for libopenscenegraph for windows, or you could possibly have a wrong $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH address,...

What about the Python Path error? is it the same?

Yes, I have also tried to install it but it is the same output

2012-09-27 05:58:28 -0500 asked a question ROS Fuerte snags on OSX Lion

So I think I was finally able to install ROS Fuerte on Mac which cannot easily be accomplished by following religiously the tutorial in there as it keeps on hitting snags. Here are some error resolutions, which I'm not sure they are the optimal ones, maybe someone would like to confirm since I want to install UWSim but I cannot, which could be because of the osx not being ready for it:

rosdep install UWSim ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies: UWSim: No definition of [libopenscenegraph] for OS [osx]

RESOLUTIONS

So open up your Terminal and put up aside the ROS installation tutorial I will try to follow up the problems as they emerge on the screen.

1) Right up from the beginning, the tutorial asks to write lines to your .bashrc file which is fine, except terminal each time you close and re-open a window is not calling this file, and yes I did go to Terminal > preferences > shell opens with: comand /bin/bash

So what I did was to write in .profile source ~/.bashrc which seems to solve this question, I saw in here that OS X doesn't read .bashrc file on bash start. Instead, it reads the following files (in the following order):

  1. /etc/profile
  2. ~/.bash_profile
  3. ~/.bash_login
  4. ~/.profile

2) If for any reason one of the instructions fails to install because of denied permissions as it will probably do on easy_install pip, one can "force" it by adding sudo before it.

3) When you are installing dependencies, log4cxx and swig-wx will turn into a headache.

i)Actually with this one I was not pleased with my solution but as I dug up on github comunity I could not find the proper solution. It snags in

system './autogen.sh'

and it fails to install log4cxx. What I did here was comment this line on the formula (/usr/local/Library/Formula/log4cxx.rb) and it seems to install fine but I'm unsure of it.

ii)Actually swig-wx was updated by Homebrew so if it fails to install just do the command again and it installs fine. If not go to this site which helped me before.

4) Next when it will probably fail to run the instruction make -j8... This has to do with the boost dependency. I could not figure out why but I downgraded it (boost 1.50.0 to boost 1.49.0) and then it'll work:

brew uninstall 
boost pushd $(brew --prefix) 
git checkout -f bf4f9aa Library/Formula/boost.rb 
popd 
brew install -v boost

5) It is quite confusing (and I still am a bit confused!!!) about the paths used to install the libraries. While it reads on the tutorial installation to send the files to /opt/ros/fuerte, usually the commands come up with ~/ros which will send you the files to the User. If you have installed ros-underlay to /opt/ros/fuerte, you should do the Desktop Full-Install on ... (more)

It would seem that making use of roslocate and merge could be the answer to this quest. Still I didn't quite understand what happened and why it doesn't remember source setup.sh as I added it to .bashrc...

(New Problem, it just doesn't run the program. It goes all segm fault (core dumped))

I cannot get to install UWSim. I'm running it on Precise (12.04) I thought it might have something to do with the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH but since it seems correct I do not know what's up. Here's the deal:

When you exit this shell Homebrew will attempt to finalise the installation. If nothing is installed or the shell exits with a non-zero error code, Homebrew will abort.

how will this affect ROS fuerte? Is there a known solution?

2012-08-29 13:54:36 -0500 marked best answer Ros install fuerte

I'm trying to install this part

rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=fuerte&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no"

but it's sending it to my local directory instead of /opt/ros/fuerte

so I changed the directory manually but then it sends this error:

ERROR in config: Is not a local file, nor able to download as a URL [http://packages.ros.orcgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py? sudo rosinstall rosdistro=fuerte&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no]: <urlopen error="" no="" host="" given="">
