[ros-users] problem using ros_tutorials

[Michael Styer]

Hello,

I'm new to ROS and trying to work through the installation and 
tutorials, but I'm having a little trouble and I'd love it if someone 
might be able to help. I'm running 64-bit Fedora 12.

Following directions on http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Installation/Fedora, 
I've installed ROS in /opt/ros, and the ROS tutorials in 
/opt/ros-tutorials. When I try Step 1.2 in the "Creating a ROS package" 
tutorial, though, it tells me there is no such package "ros_tutorials".

Below is a sequence of commands showing more detail. I noticed that the 
file "/opt/ros-tutorials/setup.sh" is empty, whereas "/opt/ros/setup.sh" 
has the contents you see below. Is that correct? Or should that setup 
file have more environment setup contents?

Thanks for any advice; if there's any other information that would be 
helpful, let me know.

Mike
