1 | initial version |
Okay, I got a solution. Basically you have to install the tools outside of apt-get. Specifically, this page was helpful...I have to put the link in a code block and obscure it partly because this website says that my karma isn't high enough to post links...
ros.org/doc/independent/api/rosinstall/html/rosws_tutorial.html#prerequisites
Where what you'll want to do is:
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
$ sudo pip install -U rosinstall
Note that if you had an older version installed you will need to remove some files, as specified on the website I provided. E.g.,
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/rosinstall-0.5*
Seems to work then.
