Hi everybody, I am trying to install ROS on Debian. I followed the experimental guide for installing ROS Fuerte in Debian. Everything went well except when I have to launch the command: rosdep install -ay

I receive the output shown below and it fails. I saw that for gentoo someone solved this problem using a custom 20-default.list. Is there anything like that for Debian Squeeze 6.0.5 ? Thank you. John

john@debreef:~$ rosdep install -ay
Executing script below with cwd=/tmp
{{{
#!/bin/bash
export PREFIX=/usr/
[ f932cebad87302d8ea0ec1fd39b24d99 = `cat $PREFIX/include/eigen3/eigen-version.installed` ]

}}}

  print "yaml-cpp-sourcedep not installed"
  exit 1}'

}}}

Overall I think your problem is that there's quite a few rosdep rules which are not filled in for debian. How to submit rosdep rules You will also likely run into issues that there may be packages available for ubuntu but not debian which will need to be satisfied from source.

Sorry for the late reply. By the way I tried to execute that command and the output is the one you say it should display.

What does this show on your system:

$ rosdep resolve libqt4-dev

On Fuerte, it should display:

#apt
libqt4-dev

If not, you probably have the wrong rosdep version or need to update your database.

I am having the same issue, trying to install the "mobile" variant of Fuerte on Squeeze. I would like to solve the problem the "right" way and update rosdep rules. However, I am confused by the gpbdistro files in my sources.list

In my case, the PCL library is the major missing dependency that makes my rosdep install -a fail. Calling rosdep resolve pcl returns

ERROR: No definition of [pcl] for OS [debian]

as expected. My sources .list are pointing at fuerte.yaml, which has a pcl tag defined. However this is not in standard rosdep.yaml format, but in the gpbdistro format. I can't figure out how to update the files (or even which file to update), in order to create an appropriate rosdep rule for pcl on debian.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
