I did some other tests already (before bothering the ros mailinglist
with this problem).
I can make all the other examples I tried with distcc (for instance
rtt_2.0 and ocl_2.0).
I only get a message saying that one of the computers I try to
distribute to is offline , but this does not cause my build to fail.
(distcc[21499] (dcc_select_for_write) ERROR: IO timeout
distcc[21499] ERROR: timeout while connecting to 192.168.10.94:3632
distcc[21499] Warning: failed to distribute
/home/fiep/src/svn/twoLevelMTTL-ros/packages/kul-ros-pkg/stacks/orocos_toolchain_ros/trunk/ocl/build/orocos-toolchain-ocl/taskbrowser/TaskBrowser.cpp
to pma-09-040, running locally instead
)
Maybe the test that is failing during the ros installation is just to
strict about this error?

I already have these.
I was justed constructing a rosinstall file which should work on any
linux system.
