Sorry.. I had taken it out till I got an answer about the binaries. They will not make binaries for PPC so I am marking this as answered. Thanks.

Oh I did not mean due to relation, but in regards to it working under a PPC environment. But no biggie.. you have been a great help and I do appreciate it very much.. thanks again.. peace.

I wanted to add that its is strange that it won't install on an alredy working version of ubuntu on a ppc.. but oh well..

I understand.. well I will build an Ubuntu install on a PC Tower and go from there. I don't have too much time to waste on figuring out if they will consider an install for PPC so I will do the other.. and that way its all fresh and new. thanks

I do these steps... I have Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty installed on a MAC PPC working perfect.

1. Made sure all Ubuntu repositories are correct.. Main, Restricted, Universe & Multiverse

2. sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

3. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0xB01FA116

4. sudo apt-get update

5. sudo apt-get install ros-jade-desktop-full

This is where I get stuck with the error:

E: Unable to locate package ros-jade-desktop-full

I actually went to the "repository" directory packages.ros.org and as I browse all the folders, I ask myself. Why do I not see a package called ros-jade-desktop-full .. are they in a different location specified by the DBs that I find in the repository?.. or maybe I am missing something I overlooked. I am a moderate Linux user and I don't believe I missed something, but I am new to ROS so maybe I did.

Can anyone help me to ID the issue?

Oh I forgot to tell you.. this is on a MAC install of Ubuntu, which is working fine.

OK.,. gvdhoorn, I read all the info you posted for this answer but I get the same issue installing Jade-Desktop-Full.. it stops me at "E: Unable to locate package ros-jade-desktop-full"... I have Trusty 14.04 installed. I have looked everywhere with no avail. Can you help me?
