Since you are on the Beagleboard, you will need Armel packages, not the standard i386 or x86-64 packages. While Willow Garage has started to build Armel .debs, most ROS stacks are not currently building for Armel. See the electric build status for details. You want the maverick-armel column and anything not in white will not have a .deb in the repository. Note that as of right now, geometry is not successfully built for armel.
You can try to install the geometry
stack from source (using either rosinstall
or just checking the stack out onto your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
), but since it's not building as a .deb, I don't expect it to build without patching on your Beagleboard. You may be able to build just tf
(rosmake --rosdep-install tf
) after checking out the geometry
stack and, if tf
and it's dependencies don't fail, you'll be able to get up and running.
