After upgrading to Debian 6.0 the rosinstall script works fine.The new problem is that nothing would compile: "gcc fails to compile simple program"gcc was linked to gcc-4.3 so I had to do a rm /usr/bin/gcc and ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.3 /usr/bin/gccIs there a more correct way of doing this?Now things seem to be moving along.This happened with both cturtle and diamondback by the way.On Feb 15, 2011, at 12:57 AM, Willy Lambert wrote:Debian installation is quite new and might not work on every installation (that's why there is a WORK IN PROGRESS on top of it ;) ). Please do not hesitate to share your problem here, you'll receive help and you'll help Debian becoming a fully working installation.
Yes Squeeze is officially a stable version for a week, so now, lenny may be (IMO) considered as an "old install".
If you dare, I suggest you to try the next coming version of ROS because dependencies are better managed. It is currently in a release candidate state, so it's close to be the new newest version.
2011/2/14 Taylor Veltrop <taylor@veltrop.com>Ok, looks like I'll have to do a dist upgrade.Wow, I didn't know that squeeze was officially released!Thanks for the heads up Ugo!On Feb 14, 2011, at 9:05 PM, Ugo Cupcic wrote:Hi,
Yes on lenny you get python 2.5 and for this you need python 2.6 at least.
Installing ros on lenny was a bit of a pain (well in our case). If you uprgade to the latest debian, then it should make your life a LOT easier with ROS :)
Cheers,

They fixed it by changing a python 3 symlink to a 2.7 symlink. That does not apply in my case.Sorry if this has been covered before, I feel like it's something obvious but I haven't been able to find a solution.Is Debian lenny's python the problem?Taylor Veltrop
