How do I even get a build running on Mac OS X?

[fatuhoku]

If the answer is 'install it by source after installing all of OpenRave's dependencies by source' I want to express that that is too high a barrier for entry for many users, never mind potential contributors, to work on improving the project :/

[rdiankov]

unfortunately no one on the dev team has mac osx. in the past people have used Ubuntu Linux VMs on windows and mac osx to get over this barrier.

I have a similar error, so I won't open a new ticket. Running Fedora19 (or Fedora20) with collada-dom-2.4.0, for example opening "neuronics-katana.zae":

For us this is actually a crucial issue. Luckily we still have an xml-formatted robot-file that we can use, but it would be nice if we could rely on the "officially" provided robot models :)

Just installed collada-dom-2.4.2 from you github repo and the problem seems to be resolved. Didn't know there was a github repo, I just saw the 2.4.0 files from sourceforge :)

On Ubuntu 16.04 I've tried multiple versions of https://github.com/rdiankov/collada-dom with no result. Looks more related to https://github.com/rdiankov/openrave/issues/435. Proposed experiment:

openrave robots/neuronics-katana.zae # fails
openrave.py robots/neuronics-katana.zae # works
