Jan, 
I have never seen this error, but a quick search suggests that you are running out of memory.  rosinstall has never been tested in a memory limited environment.  How much memory do you have available?  And can you watch something like top when trying to run this?

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to install ROS on the Neo Freerunner Linux Smartphone.
When I run the ./rosinstall I get the following error:


root@neo:~# ./rosinstall
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "./rosinstall", line 27, in <module>
   import yaml
 File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/yaml/__init__.py", line 9, in
<module>
   from dumper import *
 File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/yaml/dumper.py", line 6, in <module>
   from representer import *
MemoryError


I have also tried to install directly from SVN. Everything in c/c++
compiles fine but Python scripts show similar errors as the one above.

There are several Python versions on the phone (i think 2.4 2.5 2.6) I
tried switsching arround via update-alternatives or setting $PYTHONHOME
with not much effect.

I'm not really familar with debugging python scripts and especially that
it is a "MemoryError" at import confuses me.

Python in general is working, so it must be related to the yaml (installed
python-yaml & yaml & dev-packages) stuff.

Maybe someone has an idea? Has anyone installed ROS on the freerunner?

thanks a lot,
jan
