mkdir -p ~/new_hokuyo_test/src
cd ~/new_hokuyo_test/src/

ok.

catkin_init_workspace

you don't need this, catkin_make will do all that is needed for you on first invocation.

catkin_make

I think you forgot a cd .. before catkin_make?

cd src/
catkin_create_pkg hokuyo_test_pkg std_msgs roscpp rospy
cd ~/new_hokuyo_test/
catkin_make

# Uncommented some stuff (like add executable etc) in CMakeLists.txt (see github)

catkin_make (just to test)
added `hokuyo_test_pkg_node.cpp` in `src` of `hokuyo_test_pkg`
catkin_make in ws directory
source devel/setup.bash
rosrun hokuyo_test_pkg hokuyo_test_pkg_node

And at this point you have the urg_node already running in another terminal? And a roscore?
