Hello,
I am using ROS hydro and Gazebo in my research, and I want to install the newest version of Ubuntu 13.10. Do you think I might have any serious incompatibilty issues?
Thanks in advance!!

If you don't have very good reasons to use 13.10, I'd recommend using something between 12.04 and 13.04. It's much nicer not to have to install everything from source.

There are no official Debian packages for Ubuntu Saucy (13.10) (see http://ros.org/reps/rep-0003.html#hydro-medusa-apr-2013).
But you should be able to compile everything from source fairly easy. Eventually some system package names have changes and you need to figure them out manually or provide updated mapping for saucy back to the rosdep database (see https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob/master/rosdep/base.yaml#L275) in order for rosdep install to work properly.

Can't find any documentation on how to override the resdep database files, can you shed some light on how to do so? Thanks!
