Hi Ian,

I have also bumped into that problem, and opened a ticket on it:
https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/ticket/2743

I expect that it will get fixed pretty quick, but in the meantime, you
could try to download ros_tutorials from svn and add it to your
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH:

svn co \
  https://code.ros.org/svn/ros/stacks/ros_tutorials/branches/boxturtle \
  ros_tutorials
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=`pwd`/ros_tutorials:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
rosmake turtle_teleop

(Not tested, but this should be a step in the right direction.)
