[ros-users] ROS Electric Support for OS X Lion

[William Woodall]

Looks like the way brew is linking it or using libtool causes the
libgtest.la file to never be created, because installing manually from
source works for me.  I filed a ticket on Homebrew's github here:
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/7009

In the mean time I have created a sourcedep for it and when it is fixed by
homebrew I will switch to using that again.  The latest patches should work.

Also as a side note for others, I find it useful to make a copy of ~/ros
before the patching step (something like cp -r ~/ros ~/clean_ros) so I can
test new patches without downloading a new ros each time.  I use this: `rm
-rf ~/ros; cp -r ~/clean_ros ~/ros` to "reset" my ros.

Let me know if that works,
