Hi,

have a problem with OSX and groovy installation. Did anyone have to cope with this error? Should be installed...

I had the same problem, it appears some pkg-config files are incorrect in ROS. Check my previous question for the solution:

Can't find a file with : in it.

Do you get anything if you execute : cd ~/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/lib/pkgconfig && grep -r 'l:/usr' *

I found some libs and I can compile more packages. But I get the same error again with rospack_genmsg_libexe ... Edit: Works now, have to delete CMakeCache files ...

Does the file /usr/local/lib/libboost_signals-mt.dylib exist on your system? If not you may need to ensure boost is installed correctly on your system.

If you have recently reinstalled or updated boost then you might have stale build state, so you can try cleaning your CMake cache and rebuilding your packages to ensure they have up-to-date information.

Yes, boost is installed.
