I was trying to rosmake eigen cause it occured as a error package while compiling turtlebot, while i was not connected to internet each time i tried errors came. but suddenely when i got connected the netbook to internet I got it worked fine and even it took only some minutes. The error was :

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Do we really need to be connected while rosmaking? what is the role of internet in compiling?

Some ROS packages are just wrappers for third-party libraries. When you first build them, they go out and download the code (either an archive or source checkout), unpack it, apply any patches and finally compile. That first step requires internet access.

The rosmake system allows to use external libraries (that are not system dependencies).

Therefore you can write a makefile that downloads a tarball, extracts it and sets it up to use with the specific package. The eigen package does this, so when you remake it, it will try to reget the tarball from the internet.

is it like this, each time i want to remake eigen it will redirect to its internet location.

if you clean it before yes, otherwise I do not know. Actually the download and unpack is the only thing that is done for Eigen, as it is a headers only library, so there is no compiling going on. Thus, you don't need to remake eigen for any reason (as you can't). Maybe you want to remake your code?
