Hi Ben, Thanks for your message! I actually saw your post and this answer before, but I was hoping this issue would've been sorted by now. It's a shame that ROS does not even recognise opensuse. I'm very curious to know the reasons... I won't have time to look into patching rosdep to include opensuse support, but I took the short route and tried to manually install the rosdeps. Running "rosmake --no-rosdep rostest", the output said 0 fail (or something along those lines -- I don't remember now). The fact is that I don't know how to proceed with the installation. Documentation is very poor in that respect. If anyone could help me out pointing me to the right direction, I would be grateful!
