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/gcc Is 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.
