brew install pcl failed

[JetForMe]

Hi. This might not be your issue, but it came up as a result of trying the fix for #15. If this should be reported to homebrew, let me know.

Error: Failure while executing: /usr/bin/patch -g 0 -f -p1 -i 000-homebrew.diff
ERROR: the following rosdeps failed to install
  homebrew: command [brew install pcl] failed

[wjwwood]

Are you on 10.9? I think you have to use --HEAD on 10.9.

[JetForMe]

This came as a result of running

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro hydro -y

I'm not sure how to get it to choose HEAD for just pcl.

[JetForMe]

I'm trying

brew install pcl --HEAD --with-tests --with-examples

I'll let you know.

[JetForMe]

Thanks. that worked, although I ran into unrelated problems later with gtk+ and XQuartz. However, how do I tell homebrew that it should get HEAD if it's running on Mavericks? Is that even something it should do?

[wjwwood]

No, eventually is should 'just work'™ but for now we are waiting on patches to make it into upstream pcl. There are several tickets on this issue tracker and others discussing it.
