This would be awesome. One
more thing that would be nice would be if OGRE 64-bit worked as well.
Currently there are patches on the OGRE forums for doing this but they
have not been incorporated into the main distribution and I haven't got
around to trying them out.

Re: [ros-users] ROS Tutorial under OSX
10.6
I'll note that a lot of the Diamondback work we're doing
is expressly to try and make this bringup easier, though it is hard to
maintain compatible with Apple's development choices.
The new rx stacks moves the wx dependencies out of ROS that are so problematic
on OS X -- we've also announced that we're switching the Qt in the future,
as wx seems to not have its act together anymore.
We've also moved visualization_msgs into common_msgs, which should reduce
the pollution of "visualization_common" within the stack dependency
chain. Also, future versions of RViz (not Diamondback, but possible E-turtle),
will be Qt based.
The last change we're hoping to make is to switch all of the Python-related
dependencies on OS X to use the builtin Python interpreter and easy_install/pip.
Originally we had brought things up to be compatible with 10.4 and 10.5.
If we drop 10.4 support, we no longer need to depend on Macports for Python,
which I think is a fairly big win given the additional headaches we've
had there.
Plz Brian, get annoyed soon! I miss working on Xcode so much :D

I haven't. Many things were working well on 10.5, including rx* and
rviz. Things pretty much went to hell when I upgraded to 10.6. I'm
now dual-booting my laptop into Ubuntu for ROS development. That
will
eventually annoy me enough to figure out how to get things going on
10.6.
