Hi All, I followed the installation instructions for OSX (Lion) using Homebrew and many things are working great. However, I'm unable to get rxgraph, rxplot, or rxbag to work.
rx-1.6.1
ROS Electric
OSX Lion
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jul 31 2011, 19:30:53) [GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin
**RXGRAPH**
rxgraph fails because the python gobject library is missing:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/ptf/Work/ethz/vc_ros/ros/bin/rxgraph", line 35, in

import gobject
ImportError: No module named gobject
**RXPLOT**
rxplot crashes with a nasty looking error, but this already has an open ticket.

**RXBAG**
rxbag exits with an informative error message:
> rxbag This application requires wxPython version 2.8
As far as I can tell, the Homebrew instructions install wxPython 2.9. So, when I change the python code to check for 2.9, it fails downstream when trying to load pycairo:
> rxbag
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/ptf/Work/ethz/vc_ros/ros/bin/rxbag", line 38, in
import rxbag
File "/Users/ptf/Work/ethz/vc_ros/rx/rxbag/src/rxbag/__init__.py", line 34, in
from rxbag_main import rxbag_main
File "/Users/ptf/Work/ethz/vc_ros/rx/rxbag/src/rxbag/rxbag_main.py", line 56, in
import wx.lib.wxcairo
File "/usr/local/lib/wxPython-2.9.2.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx-2.9.2-osx_cocoa/wx/lib/wxcairo.py", line 54, in
import cairo
ImportError: No module named cairo
I assume the rxplot problem is a separate issue, but is there something wrong with my Python installation that I am missing cairo and gobject?
Thanks for your help!
Paul
