Revision history [back]

Alright, I think that I have it figured out. I'll amend this post if I try the tutorials and something breaks, but for now rosinstall completed successfully.

It turns out that there are dependency conflicts in a number of the modules that ROS uses. For instance, mercurial requires python=2.6, but python-setuptools requires python=2.7. My solution was to install Python 2.7 and every time that the configuration management threw an error I chose to go ahead and install, which it would say was breaking the installation.
