[ros-users] orocos_kdl failure on OSX

[Nicholas Butko]

Kevin, can you build python_orocos_kdl? I fixed the cmake problems with orocos_kdl, similar to you, but I get a ton of undefined symbol link errors for the python version, which prevents many stacks from building. It is a huge point of failure for me right now.
