Hi, After installing the ROS, i was going through the tutorials to learn it

link text At this page when i tried to navigate to the turtlesim using roscd turtlesim, it threw an error roscd: No such package/stack 'turtlesim'

so, going through another post, link text , i got to know that i am supposed to run sudo apt-get install ros-cturtle-ros-tutorials. but once i ran this, i again got an error E: Unable to locate package ros-cturtle-ros-tutorials Since i am newbie, could you please explain me clearly, on how to proceed on

Thanks a lot for replying. are you saying that ROS_PACKAGE_PATH is not set up at all or did u mean that i need to include something else to my ROS_PACKAGE_PATH environment variable? Because when i typed the echo ROS_PACKAGE_PATH, i got something like */home/mhariharasudan/fuerte_workspace/sandbox:

Please provide all relevant information including the version of your operating system and the ROS distro you are using. See http://ros.org/wiki/Support Did you maybe install fuerte? Then install turtlesim with: sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-ros-tutorials. Also, your package path is wrong.

Thanks a lot, that worked. Yea i had installed Fuerte. And in the previous comment the whole package path was not pasted. The package path is /home/mhariharasudan/fuerte_workspace/sandbox:/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks:/opt/ros/fuerte/share:/opt/ros/fuerte/share/ros Is this one correct or should i change?
