Hi Alan,

All those development environments are known to work with computers running ROS.  They shouldn't be a problem. 

Specifically what are the red boxes in synaptic?  How long have they been there?  Do you rememver There shouldn't be any on a standard system. 

And can you do  "sudo apt-get install ros-diamondback-ros" and post the output?

Also, we're transitioning troubleshooting questions to answers.ros.org.  It has better accessibility for other people with the same issues to find the answers to their problems.  If you could follow up there that would be great.

I am trying to upgrade from cturtle to diamond back -  and I am getting libboost dependency errors.  I checked my ros-latest.list and the version of Unbuntu is correct (maverick main)  I am running on a amd64 architecture.
 
Looking at the synaptic package manager there is a lot of blank and red boxes by the libboost section.  Trying to do a apt-get on flavors of libboost doesn't seem to do the trick.  I installed under lucid, upgraded to maverick, and cturtle roscore appears to run,  but I also have added eclipse, the Google adk and the Arduino ide to the system, an one of which might of broken something.
 
Tryin a partial upgrade of maverick next to see if it fixes anything.
 
 
 
Thanks to Mike Ferguson and Adam who helped me with getting ros-serial to almost work Wednesday.
