Does ROS currently install on Mint 13?
I'm trying to install ROS on a fresh Mint 13 install, and after following the debian install guide, I get stuck at step 1.5.
Rosdep -a gives the following output:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosdep2/main.py",line 111, in rosdep_main exit_code = _rosdep_main(args) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosdep2/main.py", line 232, in _rosdep_main return _package_args_handler(command, parser, options, args) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosdep2/main.py", line 255, in _package_args_handler lookup = _get_default_RosdepLookup(options) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosdep2/main.py", line 102, in _get_default_RosdepLookup verbose=options.verbose) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosdep2/sources_list.py", line 477, in create_default matcher = DataSourceMatcher.create_default(os_override=os_override) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosdep2/sources_list.py", line 228, in create_default os_name, os_version, os_codename = os_detect.detect_os() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rospkg/os_detect.py", line 404, in detect_os raise OsNotDetected("Could not detect OS, tried %s"%attempted) OsNotDetected: Could not detect OS, tried ['ubuntu', 'rhel', 'osx', 'opensuse', 'mint', 'gentoo', 'freebsd', 'fedora', 'debian', 'cygwin', 'arch']
I've tried running rosdep install -a --os=mint:maya, but here's a sample of what I get in return:
ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have theirrosdep keys resolved to system dependencies: rosconsole: Unsupported OS [mint] image_view: Unsupported OS [mint] carrot_planner: Missing resource pcl ROS path [0]=/opt/ros/fuerte/share/ros ROS path [1]=/home/nick/ros/navigation ROS path [2]=/home/nick/ros/diagnostics
Along with a ton more "Unsupported OS [mint]" issues. My question is: does a workaround exist, or can I simply not install ROS on my Mint 13 system?
