Hi, i did first tests of ROS under Ubuntu and now i want to install ROS Indigo on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.10.3 according to http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/OSX/Homebrew/Source. Unfortunately i get an error in the last step ($ ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release):
fatal error: 'QMetaType' file not found
I think i only have to set a variable like $PATH or something, but i don´t know which one (or in which file i have to state the path) (i found a qmetatype.h in /usr/local/Cellar/qt/4.8.7/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/Headers/qmetatype.h)
Sorry for my obvious lack of knowledge so any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Here the terminal log of the error:

I have the same problem building ROS Jade on OS X 10.10.3. I tried removing Homebrew and reinstalling, but no luck. The file exists in /usr/local/Cellar/qt/4.8.7/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/Headers/QMetaType, so maybe it's a path somewhere that needs to be updated.
Comment by William on 2015-06-17:
I've never seen that before, what version of Qt and Sip are you using? (brew info qt sip)
Comment by js4 on 2015-06-17:
Thanks for your comments. I added the Information in my question.

I am having the same problem building both Jade and Indigo on OSX 10.10.3. The above error log is exactly the same on my screen. Both Jade and Indigo are producing the same exact error log.
qt is at version 4.8.7 sip is at version 4.16.5
