OK, now I think I'm at the sample place as you (Deepak) are: ld: warning: in /Volumes/ros/ros/tools/rospack/lib/librosstack.dylib, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (i386) Undefined symbols: "_main", referenced from: start in crt1.10.6.o ld: symbol(s) not found collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [../bin/stl_to_mesh] Error 1 make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/bin/stl_to_mesh.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 I expect I'll follow the same sequence you did and find the source of the problem is wxwidgets. I am curious to learn what Nicholas Butko meant when he said: "I have recently had moderate success with wxwidgets 2.9.1 and wxpython 2.9.1, both installed manually, per instructions on the website." Which website? What does "moderate success" mean? --wpd
