initial version

I recently installed turtlebot-desktop from source on 11.04. http://www.ros.org/wiki/Robots/TurtleBot/diamondback/SDK%20Setup/Ubuntu%20Source

Using the suggestions from (http://answers.ros.org/question/618/ros-packages-for-ubuntu-1104) to correct the package name sip4 I was able to compile almost all of the packages except parallel_quickstep and stageros.

I had to install the OpenNI drivers from the openni.org repository. That caused some complaints because there are dependencies on openni-dev, ps-engine and nite-dev. Also the openni_camera expects the ni to be in /usr/include/openni but OpenNI is installed under /usr/include/ni.

In addition I also compiled and ran the openni_ros stack to try out the calibration in openni_camera_unstable.

That said, I haven't run all of theses packages. The main ones I have run are rviz, navigation stack, image stuff and then the ros tools.
