I haven't tried that package, but it does not appear to be supported any more. I have had luck with the turtlebot_create package http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot_create although if I recall correctly I had to make a fix to the serial port initialization.

i m using ros groovy that is compatible with this package p.s. can u explain a little bit the port initialization thing

I see the issue has been corrected in the hydro branch, but not in groovy. Line 213 on https://github.com/turtlebot/turtlebot_create/blob/groovy/create_driver/src/create_driver.py needs to be removed.
