initial version

To start, ROS Fuerte is no longer supported. You should make a strong effort to use a newer version of ROS.

As described in the fuerte installation instructions, Fuerte was only supported on Ubuntu 10.04, 11.10 and 12.04. This means that the compiled binary packages for Fuerte will have dependencies that are specific to those versions of Ubuntu, and they won't work with newer Ubuntu versions.

It may be possible to build Fuerte from source on Ubuntu 14.04, but you will likely run into compatibility issues with some of the dependencies, since dependencies such as PCL have changed considerably between Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04.
