It was working a few months ago and I have not touched ROS since. I am using ROS electric and Ubuntu 10.04, and I am following the tutorials on how to make ROS work with Legos NXT. When I type roslaunch robot.launch I get the error:

respawning...
[nxt_ros-2] restarting process
process[nxt_ros-2]: started with pid [6573]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/ros/electric/stacks/nxt/nxt_ros/scripts/nxt_ros.py", line 49, in <module>
    from PyKDL import Rotation
ImportError: No module named sip
[nxt_ros-2] process has died [pid 6573, exit code 1].
log files: /home/joel/.ros/log/19cd638e-84de-11e5-a689-0026b9c3b537/nxt_ros-2*.log

I do not now what is causing this problem and am not too knowledgeable with ROS or Linux. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

You need to install python-sip: http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/sip4...

Try sudo apt-get install python-sip to install Ubuntu's version, before following the source installation instructions.

The link in the above answer is expired. You can follow steps given here to install sip from source if sudo apt-get install python-sip doesn't work.
