I've been following the instructions on the ROS wiki for building on Mac OS X. I'm running 10.10.3 with Xcode 6.3 (with CLI tools 6.3 installed). Everything works until it tries to build rosbag_storage.

Building uncompressed_stream.cpp the following errors occur:

/usr/local/include/boost/format/format_fwd.hpp:24:69: error: no type named 'allocator' in namespace 'std'
        class Tr = BOOST_IO_STD char_traits<Ch>, class Alloc = std::allocator<Ch> >

Apparently my Google foo is not up to snuff as the only thing related to this has to do with a missing C++ std library file that is missing (<__debug>). Copying that file from Xcode into CLI tools doesn't fix the issue.

Any ideas how to get past this error?

EDIT: Same error with Xcode 6.3.1 (and matching CLI tools) installed

Thanks! So far I've also needed to add that to src/ros_comm/roscpp/include/ros/rosout_appender.h

The problem appears to be that roscpp and rosbag_storage include message_forward.h but haven't included any C++ stdlib include files which would cause __GLIBCXX__ or _LIBCPP_VERSION to be defined. Edited solution patch to include a better fix.

Thanks! This solution worked for me. I've added it to the troubleshooting section of the OSX install wiki.
