Error building geometry stack in OSX

Question

Hi all,

I'm trying to build the geometry stack on osx Lion bu I got the following error during the building of Eigen:

mkdir -p build
if [ ! -f eigen-3.0prebeta3.tar.bz2.md5sum ]; then echo "Error: Couldn't find md5sum file eigen-3.0prebeta3.tar.bz2.md5sum" && false; fi
`rospack find rosbuild`/bin/download_checkmd5.py https://code.ros.org/svn/release/download/thirdparty/eigen/eigen-3.0prebeta3.tar.bz2 build/eigen-3.0prebeta3.tar.bz2 `awk {'print $1'} eigen-3.0prebeta3.tar.bz2.md5sum`

    fp = self.open(url, data)

    return self.open_unknown(fullurl, data)
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/urllib.py", line 216, in open_unknown
    raise IOError, ('url error', 'unknown url type', type)
IOError: [Errno url error] unknown url type: 'https'
make: *** [build/eigen/unpacked] Error 1

Do you know how I can fix it? I read somewhere that I should switch to urllib2 but I don't know how to do it.

Thanks

I found a better solution:

cd /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/
sudo cp /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_ssl.so .

I don't know way bu it seems that the _ssl.do module is not installed through macport.
