Installing ROS fuerte on Fedora 17

Question

Hello,

I am installing ROS fuerte in fedora 17 following the installation guide at http://www.ros.org/wiki/fuerte/Installation/Fedora

I have no problem until step 1.4, when I run rosdep install -a I get the following errors:

ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies: roslaunch: No definition of [python-yaml] for OS version [17]

python_qt_binding: No definition of [ros] for OS [fedora]

simmechanics_to_urdf: No definition of [python-yaml] for OS version [17]

rviz: No definition of [ros] for OS [fedora] rosparam: No definition of [python-yaml] for OS version [17] librviz_tutorial: No definition of [ros] for OS [fedora] rviz_plugin_tutorials: No definition of [ros] for OS [fedora]

I have also add the yaml file on ticket #3929 with no luck.

System information: Fedora 17 64bits

Thank you very much. Regards!

Answer 1

Fedora support is experimental. You will probably need to [contribute definitions[(http://ros.org/doc/independent/api/rosdep/html/contributing_rules.html) before rosdep will work for your packages.

Answer 2

Not using Fedora, so I am guessing blindly.

Make sure you have the latest version of rosdep installed (I think that's 0.10.12) and run

rosdep update

Hopefully that solves the error with python-yaml.

Then call:

rosdep install -ai

hopefully that resolves problem with "No definition of [ros]"
