Problem installing rosfalcon because unable to install libnifalcon

Hey,

I want to use Novint Falcon with ROS but I have difficulties installing the rosfalcon package. It depends on libnifalcon and every time I try 'rosdep install rosfalcon' it fails complaining that libnifalcon could not be installed. I have searched all over the internet for the solution but nothing. I have also downloaded the sources from github and tried to inspect what's causing the problem bt with no success.

Here's the output from rosdep install rosfalcon:

E: Unable to locate package cd
E: Unable to locate package fi
E: Unable to locate package if

E: Unable to locate package mkdir

Where did you retrieve said rosfalcon package, I'm having trouble locating it. I see an API page, but no corresponding ROS wiki entry.
