Apr 20 (23 hours ago) Hello everbody,

I'm Rizal from Malaysia and quite new with ROS. I need to install ROS Fuerte in my laptop (Ubuntu 12.04), eventhough I know it has a ROS Indigo (For Ubuntu 14.04) as a new one but I to use Fuerte for the some reason.

My question is, I have done install ROS Fuerte but I have a problem to continue with ROS Workspace Overlay. When I need to create new workspace with this command:

rosws init ~/fuerte_workspace /opt/ros/fuerte

it will came out with this error:

ERROR: Cannot find required rosinstall library version, check your installation (also of vcstools) is up-to-date. One frequent cause is that rosinstall 0.5 is still installed in /usr/local/lib.
No module named vcstools.vcs_abstraction

I try to find the previous Q and A, but I really dont get the answer. Please can some one help me.

Thank you very much

Best regards.

Check the error message: Do you have rosinstall installed in /usr/local? What do you get for which rosinstall?

Thank you for your concern dornhege. I run that command, and I got same error: ERROR: Cannot find required rosinstall library version, check your installation (also of vcstools) is up-to-date. One frequent cause is that rosinstall 0.5 is still installed in /usr/local/lib. No module named vcstools..
