Hi,
Why does ROS have to install/compile using python2.6 (py26) ? Mac OsX 10.7 (Lion) comes with python 2.7.3, and python 2.6 is unavailable anymore: At least when 2.7 is installed by default with the OS X; the 2.6 libraries are unavailable in usr/local/lib but 2.7 are there [instead?]. So when I follow the Mac OsX guide lines to install ROS , I am facing the obligation to install py26-yaml, and the compile comes using the python 2.7 existing in the system, which results in a compilation/linking where libraries from 2.7 are looked for in the wrong places.
Also, because of that 'confusion', the PATH indicates something while the exe and libraries are elsewhere, most likely in 2 different places. This shows in compilation that there is a mix of python2.6 use and unfound libraries of python 2.7 or versi- verca.
Does there exist a way to Install/compile ROS ROS, properly, using python2.7.x or newer; and the proper gcc compiler that comes with codeX?
Could you think of a packaged solution (dmg like) where everything needed could be put nicely together?
Thank you for guiding me with this matter at your earliest and kind convenience.
