Dear all, I'm trying to install ROS on MontaVista Linux(www.mvista.com) which is a commercially supported real-time Linux distribution. --- I got a bunch of error messages during installation as follows $ rosinstall ~/ros http://ros.org/rosinstalls/cturtle_ros.rosinstall ... ... ... Bootstraping ROS build Could not detect OS. platform detection will not work [ rosmake ] Detected rosout not built, adding it to the build [ rosmake ] Packages requested are: ['rostest', 'rosout'] [ rosmake ] Logging to directory/home/yskim/.ros/rosmake/rosmake_output-20100908-162930 [ rosmake ] Expanded args ['rostest', 'rosout'] to: ['rostest', 'rosout'] [ rosmake ] Generating Install Script using rosdep then executing.

But I can't replace the current Linux distribution and still want to use several ROS packages. Could anyone let me know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance - Yoonsoo
