Due to file system hierarchy changes, the Fuerte environment is set up differently. You can't just substitute fuerte for electric in a customized setup script.

The correct setting for $ROS_ROOT is /opt/ros/fuerte/share/ros.

You can source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash directly when running with the Ubuntu install packages.

For building against that with custom overlays, I recommend rosws, a new command in the rosinstall package.
