Thank you very much, It is very good way to install other stack by type "sudo apt-get install ros-cturtle-wg-robots-gazebo" or svn co xxx. And can you give me an simplest example when I should use rosdep? What I known is when my package need a dependency, I will change manifest.xml that <rosdep name="wxpython"/>

but I found that rosdep webpage says : "For example, what packages do you need in order to get the OpenGL headers on Ubuntu? (answer: libgl1-mesa-dev and libglu1-mesa-dev)."

So I summarized that to be two questions: 1. What is the main purpose to use rosdep? 2. If I want to use OpenGL, how to use rosdep to get OpenGL dependencies?

thank you~
