[ros-users] Ros install issue: /opt/ros/ros/3rdparty/wxswig/build/SWIG-1.3.29 No targets. Stop.

[Marco Clocchiatti]

I'm installing ros on a gentoo box, following these wiki instructions:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/cturtle/Installation/Gentoo

this command fails after download:
rosinstall /opt/ros
"https://code.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=cturtle&variant=ros_only&overlay=no"

here the error:
