[ros-users] In dynamic_reconfigure: an error (OSX)

[Nicholas Butko]

Trying to build hokuyo_node on OSX, I get an error that I traced back to dynamic_reconfigure. 

Somehow cmake is generating spurious python dependencies (see below). The problem is that a binary .egg file is identified as a dependency, but it is treaded like a folder. So the .egg file exists, but is not a folder, and when make tries to look into the folder that doesn't exist, it can't find the file. But the .egg file works just fine, as shown below (import works just fine in Python). 

I'm not sure how to debug this, and I'm not sure how it can be fixed. Does anyone with more experience with Python and CMake have any ideas?
