Hello, I am trying to install RGBDSLAM on Ubuntu 11.10

I installed Ros Fuerte because Octomap viz isn't available as a package for Ros Electric.

One of the steps it asks for is to resolve dependencies using rosdep. However, whenever I issue rosdep I get "command not found".

Most other commands work perfectly. Here is the output from a ros[tab][tab]

~/ros_workspace/fuerte$ ros

*rosawesome      rosed           rosmsg          rosstack
rosbag          rosgraph        rosmsg-proto    rostest
rosboost-cfg    rosinstall      rosnode         rostopic
rosclean        roslaunch-deps  rosparam        rosversion
rosco           roslaunch-logs  rospd           rosws
roscore         roslocate       rospython       roswtf
roscp           rosls           rosrun          
roscreate-pkg   rosmake         rosservice      
rosd            rosmaster       rossrv*

I have messed around with environment variables to the point that I believe that is not the issue. Here goes an env | grep ROS

*ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros/fuerte/share/ros
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/vittorio/ros_workspace/fuerte:/opt/ros/fuerte/share:/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks
ROSLISP_PACKAGE_DIRECTORY=/opt/ros/fuerte/share/common-lisp/ros
ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311
ROS_WORKSPACE=/home/vittorio/ros_workspace/fuerte
ROS_PARALLEL_JOBS=-j4
ROS_DISTRO=fuerte
ROS_ETC_DIR=/opt/ros/fuerte/etc/ros*

Here goes a echo $PATH and echo $PYTHONPATH

echo $PATH
*/opt/ros/fuerte/bin:/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games*

echo $PYTHONPATH
*/opt/ros/fuerte/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:*

I am curious as to why there is a colon at the end of dist-packages. There is one colon at the end of the statement in /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.sh , but I believe that one should disappear when the environment variable gets passed.

Any other ideas as to why rosdep doesn't work in fuerte?

P.S. I can switch my environment back to electric, and rosdep works.

Fuerte introduces a new rosdep implementation, which must be installed via pip, separately from the ROS distribution.

sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install -U rosdep
sudo rosdep init
rosdep update

See: REP-0125.

UPDATE: people building ROS packages from source may want to install these Python packages, too:

sudo pip install -U rosinstall vcstools rospkg

UPDATE2: instead of using pip, the recommended install method on Ubuntu is now:

sudo apt-get install python-rosdep

The init and update steps are still necessary.

Thank you very much!! That did the trick. Is there any other standard ROS programs from electric that you are aware of that also require an installation from pip? Rosdep should be installed with the standard apt-get install ros-fuerte-desktop-full.BTW does that car from Austinrobot.com also run ROS?

Yes, our autonomous vehicle now runs ROS.

Hi, I did just what you said.. and here is the result:

sudo pip install -U rosinstall vcstools rospkg Downloading/unpacking rosinstall Cannot fetch index base URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/ Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement rosinstall No distributions at all found for rosinstall

I am a noob so will see what else I could possibly be doing wrong

may be you can try ubuntu software center, select ROS precise (if you have followed the instruction to instruction) then search rosdep, you will find Rosdep system dependency installation tool, install this one run the command 'sudo rosdep init' and 'rosdep update', then it will work
