[ros-users] cannot install diamondback in slackware-linux

[Joe Romano]

Actually two things in addition to my last email:

I meant it probably failed when you got to the next line (not easy_install):
rosinstall ~/ros
"http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no"
right?

The instructions on the wiki are a little confusing here. Did you read
the previous step that tells you to add the '-n' option to this
command to prevent building? So the command should actually be:
rosinstall ~/ros
"http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no"
-n

That should get you through the code-downloading step without
crashing. You will then have to build it all manually using the
command on the wiki:
 ~/ros/setup.sh
rosmake --no-rosdep rostest

I'd be interested in hearing if you have success so we can remove the
untested warning at the top of the wiki page.
