rosinstall on ubuntu 11.04
Hi!
I am trying to install ROS on Ubuntu 11.04. I tried to follow howtos and similar documents, but it didn't work for me. My main goal is to get a working system with MORSE, ROS and Blender. I managed to install Blender and MORSE, they work together. I also installed python 3.2.1 and ROS electric from the repositories. Now, when I try to run roscore or roslaunch I get the following errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/ros/electric/ros/bin/roslaunch", line 2, in <module>
from ros import roslaunch
ImportError: cannot import name roslaunch
I thought that it is maybe because I hadn't yet installed the rosinstall software. So I tried to install it from the repositories using sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall
as it was written here: http://www.ros.org/doc/api/rosinstall/html/ Unfortunately, it seems to only work for fuerte not for electric, so I tried to install it using pip:
sudo pip install -U rosinstall vcstools
Then I try to run rosinstall, but I always get errors like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):

class YAMLObject(metaclass=YAMLObjectMetaclass):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Since it shows directories with the version 2.7 in them instead of 3.2, I suspect that my PYTHONPATH environmental variable is still missing something, at the moment it looks like this:
/opt/morse/lib/python3/site-packages:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src::/usr/local/lib/python3.2:/usr/local/lib/python3.2/site-packages:/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages:/home/zsarosi/builds/morse/bindings/pymorse:/opt/morse/lib/python3/dist-packages:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src
I am stucked now. Can anyone please help me?
Do you need python 3.2?Try install python2.7?
Blender needs python 3 and making morse work with ros is definitely non-trivial.
Sorry for the incorrect comment.
