Hi there,
I installed ros fuerte from source on a new installation of Ubuntu 12.04. When I want to run roscore i get following failure message:
... logging to /home/panda/.ros/log/4b069fea-efbf-11e1-b011-2e607c264e01/roslaunch-panda-1813.log
Checking log directory for disk usage. This may take awhile.
Press Ctrl-C to interrupt
Done checking log file disk usage. Usage is <1GB.
Traceback (most recent call last):

pkg_resources.ResolutionError: No script named 'rosversion'
Invalid <param> tag: Cannot load command parameter [rosversion]: command [rosversion ros] returned with code [1].
Param xml is <param command="rosversion ros" name="rosversion"/>
I saw that there was already a question regarding to this kind of failure. So I deleted all rospkg regarding folders under /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ and used
$sudo easy_install -U rospkg
Unfortunately, I got a different failure msgs then:
... logging to /home/panda/.ros/log/e6c9fbac-efbf-11e1-8192-2e607c264e01/roslaunch-panda-1830.log

This usually means that the network is not configured properly.
A common cause is that the machine cannot ping itself. Please check
for errors by running:
ping panda
For more tips, please see
http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/NetworkSetup
Which is really weird because i can ping myself without a problem. I deleted all rospkg folders again and used to get back to the old setup.
$sudo pip install -U rospkg
there was a interesting output while installing
Installing collected packages: rospkg
Running setup.py install for rospkg
changing mode of build/scripts-2.7/rosversion from 644 to 755
So a ROS-Version must be set somewhere.
the output from $roswtf ist
No package or stack in context

Static checks summary:
Found 1 error(s).
ERROR Not all paths in ROS_PACKAGE_PATH [/opt/ros/fuerte/share:/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks] point to an existing directory:

================================================================================
ROS Master does not appear to be running.
Online graph checks will not be run.
ROS_MASTER_URI is [http://localhost:11311]
I appreciate any kind of suggestions.
Edit:
Lorenz answer is the solution to the problem. I used $ sudo easy_install rospkg and then added
export ROS_HOSTNAME=localhost
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311
to my .bashrc
There is now a failure msgs about
Exception AttributeError: AttributeError("'_DummyThread' object has no attribute '_Thread__block'",) in <module 'threading' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.pyc'> ignored
but this shouldn't be an issue. (reference)
