Hi,
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
rosdep install turtlesim</p><p>

#No Packages to install
</p>
<p>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.
