<div>William and I have been working to get everything working on OS X, at this point we have made progress but its not as well tested as the linux distributions. </div>

I'm trying to use ROS in MacOSX after successfully installing (not completely tested yet...stuff like rviz doesn't work...Ogre is ugly to install and it fails through macports). I'm not sure what to expect ...will other things be as simple to just install and play like in Linux? Will OpenCV work? will my uvc cameras work? <div>
<br></div><div>I would like people's opinions about this transition (please, don't bash me for the ridiculous question). I would like to have a feel of how many actual mac users are having ROS working successfully. As I said, my roscore works and got the desktop-full install fine (no errors), but I ran into the case where rviz is there but it's NOT there really...</div>
<div><br></div><div>Why does stuff like "make eclipse-project" doesn't work in here?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the positive/negative vibes to whoever feels my position.</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div>
