I have tried to document everything I have done up to this point to have a working ROS install. I don't have the rx stuff working, but enough functionality for me.

This doesn't work correctly with homebrew's installation and throws an error. So you end up with a multiline warning in the middle of your xml statement. Which is where you get the Invalid manifest file exception. The pkg-config that is in there now uses opencv-2.3.1, but for what ever reason, on OS X with homebrew you need to do just opencv with no version. See patch:
