[ros-users] Is there a way to use ROS on debian systems ?

[Willy Lambert]

Thanks for updating.

which version of Debian are you using ? only the stable version (Squeeze) is
tested and supported. Others may failed

I surprised of some of your adds :
_ Failed to find rosdep boost for package rosout on OS:debian
version:squeeze ==> this has to be solved modifying the rosdep.yaml files
concerned. In general it is because of the use of sid/squeeze tag instead of
squeeze.
I suggest you read this :
http://www.ros.org/wiki/rosdep/Tutorials/Add%20new%20OS%20to%20rosdep.yamland
try to edit the fault rosdep.yaml. Please send a full installation log
if you want help in this
_ ("ROS-only") builds fine. ==> this is due to the faulty rosdep.yaml
_For the "Base Install" you additionally need package mercurial, otherwise
you get ==> I am surprise you have this, I thougth it was only necessary in
the Diamondback version. Does anyone know if it is the case ?

If you have problems with Cturtle, I highly suggest you go with Diamondback
that I have tested and for wich patches have already been send to correct
the rosdep.yaml files
