Hi all,

Can someone tell me how to configure the environment for Fuerte so that I can get my custom packages to run as before?

I am looking for something similar to this:

Use rosinstall. Suppose you want to put your local packages into ~/ros-fuerte/workspace and create an overlay in ~/ros-fuerte:

sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install rosinstall

mkdir -p ~/ros-fuerte/workspace
rosinstall ~/ros-fuerte /opt/ros/fuerte ~/ros-fuerte/workspace

This creates a setup.bash and friends in ~/ros-fuerte. Source it and your environment should be set.

Good approach, and it works similarly for Electric workspaces. I like the new rosws script, which is packaged with rosinstall. http://www.ros.org/doc/api/rosinstall/html/rosws.html

Yes. rosws is probably the better choice.

Environment setup instructions for Fuerte are very similar to the one's for Electric. Did you try walking through

http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Tutorials/InstallingandConfiguringROSEnvironment

but replacing 'electric' by 'fuerte'?

The ROS_ROOT variable should omit the /ros suffix, so set it to /opt/ros/fuerte

@Steven Bellens I think it is trickier than just replacing 'electric' by 'fuerte'; in fact, that's what I did first. What about the PYTHONPATH path?
