Embarrassed to say that I can't get the newest rosinstall working on
my machine, using Debian lenny 5.0.8 and the standard source based
install instructions at
http://www.ros.org/wiki/cturtle/Installation/Debian
. Python version is 2.5.2.
Executed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-yaml cmake subversion wget
python-setuptools
and:
sudo easy_install -U rosinstall
When I run:
rosinstall ~/ros "
http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=cturtle&variant=base&overlay=no
"
Here is the output:
veltrobot:~ $ rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=cturtle&variant=ros_only&overlay=no
"
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rosinstall-0.5.15-py2.5.egg/

If I download the old
http://www.ros.org/rosinstall and do a
./rosinstall ~/ros "
http://www.ros.org/rosinstalls/cturtle_base.rosinstall
"
then it all works out fine as it used to.
I found an old thread with the same error message from an ArchLinux
user. They fixed it by changing a python 3 symlink to a 2.7 symlink.
That does not apply in my case.
Sorry if this has been covered before, I feel like it's something
obvious but I haven't been able to find a solution.
Is Debian lenny's python the problem?
