[ros-users] Issues with rosdep & installation path

[Shankaranand Jagadeesan]

Hi,

I'm new to ROS and have been going through the tutorials and everything
seems to work. But I have a couple of questions. When i use rosdep to
install the system dependencies I get the following warning and in the end
it says #No packages to install. But rosmake works perfectly well and I'm
able to run the tutorials. I want to make sure that rosdep is working. The
following is the output even if i try to use rosdep against (all) any other
packages.

rosdep install turtlesim

 #No Packages to install

The second query is, why do I have two installations of ros in my file
system. I use ubuntu karmic and I installed the ROS & base using the
pre-compiled binaries as told in ROS wiki. I can see ROS and its stacks in
opt/ros/boxturtle and in ~/ros/ros with tutorials in ~/ros-tutorials. I get
confused when i set the env variables cause I don't know where to set
ROS_ROOT. I ran all the tutorials with ~/ros/ros as my ROS_ROOT and it
worked fine except for rosdep. So if i want to install a new package, Can i
proceed with ~/ros/ros as my ROS_ROOT?. I would be grateful, If somebody
could help me with this.
