I have installed ros-fuerte. The package 'ros-fuerte-catkin' is installed. But I cannot build my application using catkin_make:

source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash
source /usr/share/drcsim/setup.sh
catkin_make: command not found

when I'm trying to install:

sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-catkin

ros-fuerte-catkin is already the newest version.

I'm not familiar with catkin on Fuerte, but the wiki says:

Note for ROS Fuerte Users: An experimental version of catkin was released with ROS Fuerte that is quite different from the version in Groovy. Those using ROS Fuerte should continue utilizing rosbuild.

So it may not has this functionality at all, i.e. catkin_make.

If I recall correctly, Fuerte did not yet have catkin, therefore catkin_make does not work. Try rosmake, assuming you have rospackages.

Fuerte had an early version of catkin, but I don't think catkin_make was available.

So, I can't build my package anyway. I created a folder in home directory with the following files: "CMakeLists.txt, main.cpp, Makefile, manifest.xml" corresponding the rosbuild tutorial. After that I'm trying to make and obtain:

CMake Error at /opt/ros/fuerte/share/ros/core/rosbuild/private.cmake:99 (message):
  [rosbuild] rospack found package "src" at "", but the current directory is
  "/home/max/dev/test1/src".  You should double-check your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
  to ensure that packages are found in the correct precedence order.

WTH? Why can't I build a package within the home directory? Is it necessary to copy the package to the rosbuild directory?

You should edit your original question or open a new one, but any rosbuild packages must be in the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH before building them.
