Hi. I'm using ROS Electric in Ubuntu 10.04 lucyd. I have followed the full installation process and actualy I have already made some nodes succesfully. I want to use the openni_kinect pakage. I'm following this tutorial http://www.ros.org/wiki/openni_kinect#Ubuntu_installation-1 and it says that I need rosinstall. For that I'm following the next tutorial http://ros.org/wiki/rosinstall. Everything seems to be all right until this point sudo easy_install -U rosinstall. But when the tutorial says "After installation, rosinstall writes a bash setup file, called setup.bash, into PATH. Source this file to configure your environment variables." I dont know where to find that file. I wrote rosinstall --version and I got rosinstall 0.5.26. So I want to think that everything is ok whit rosinstall... but when I return to the kinect tutorial in 3.2 the make or even the make debian commands brings the following: GIT: Program not foun / Built error 127. Is something wrong with the rosinstall? Or do I need something extra? I have already tried sudo apt-get install git, but it say git package is not aviable.

Since you're using Ubuntu, you should follow Ubuntu Installation, not Source based installation. All you need to do is

sudo apt-get install ros-electric-openni-kinect

You don't need to run rosmake on packages you've installed using apt-get. "Failed to contact master" likely indicates a network configuration problem. Take a look at the troubleshooting wiki page (http://ros.org/wiki/ROS/Troubleshooting#Common_Problems).
