My ROS indigo was installed from source, following the installation guide http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/Source The program is located at /home/roscatkinws/install_isolated.

Then how can I install packages from 3rd party? I found this tutorial http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/StackInstallation. But it seems like based on rosmake, not catkinmake.

My question is: can I install 3rd party package from binary? Or Can I install the package from source and all my workspaces can access it? Thanks a lot.
