Installing ROS on Ubuntu 11.10 Oneric Ocelot
Is actually possible to install ROS on the upcoming Ubuntu 11.10 Oneric Ocelot through the ros repository?

No Ubuntu Oneric packages are currently in the repository.
I would not expect to see them there until after Oneric is officially released by Ubuntu.
The answer above refers to the Ubuntu binaries. You can probably check out ROS sources and compile them on Oneric. There may be some problems with system dependencies or perhaps a new compiler version. If so, please report them. The ROS package maintainers will want to fix them.
I have tried to follow the ROS installation instructions for Ubuntu 11.04 on my machine that is running Ubuntu 11.10. I can install the "bare bones" version ok but none of the higher functionality. I think the problem is the dependency on something called libglut3-dev. I tried installing each section of ROS individually and tracked the problem to this library. Can the ROS package maintainers help me get the full version installed on Ubuntu 11.10?
I am new to this but just installed Ubuntu (11.10) and was following the step-by-step ROS installation instructions. All fine until I got to the install ros-cturtle-pr2all step. This generated a long list of unmet dependencies. I tried looking through the links about available packages for 11.10, but couldn't figure it out. Maybe not every ready yet at 11.10 for pr2all?

The Deb build link shows that most of the packages are built without errors. Although no package repository is up for 11.10, does it mean that all of the packages without error work properly and a work around is to install ros electric through Natty repository ? or would it not work that way ?
