[ros-users] progress on ROS on OS X

[William Woodall]

The NULL pointer segfault you got there is related to using the gtk and
there for X11 version of wx.  See

He ends up building it i386 and native carbon to make things work, which is
the point at which we went +no_x11 -carbon +cocoa on macports and all i386
in ROS.
