[ros-users] can't install electric from source

[Ken Conley]

Hi Tom,

Please include much more information about your system:

http://www.ros.org/wiki/Support#Guidelines_for_asking_a_question_.28Please_read_before_posting.29

e.g. your OS version, how you installed ROS (e.g. /opt/ros/ros doesn't
make much sense to me, nor does the fact that you mention apt-get but
then talk about building rospack).

thanks,
Ken
