[ros-users] RViz on OS X

[William Woodall]

You might need to specify your python version:

sudo port install python_select


sudo port select --set python python26


Additionally, you want to make sure you're using the macports python...

export
PATH=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin:$PATH
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install rosinstall
rosinstall ....


That export PATH... command will ensure that you are using binaries
installed for the macports python.  You can either set it once in the
command line to install/run rosinstall or you can put it in your .bashrc,
but either way you should be aware that it effecting what python executables
are being used.

Hope that helps,
