I had the same problem. Found a solution in the end of tutorial you linked. You have to change the name of the packages
$ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws
$ rosinstall_generator ros_tutorials --rosdistro indigo --deps --wet-only --exclude roslisp --tar > indigo-custom_ros.rosinstall
Next, update the workspace with wstool:
$ wstool merge -t src indigo-custom_ros.rosinstall
$ wstool update -t src
it downloaded the package for me but you have to add ros_catkin_ws to workspace path
now I have a new problem when i am trying to run rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node I am getting this message
[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named turtlesim_node below /home/pi/ros_catkin_ws/src/ros_tutorials/turtlesim

Can u tell me how u did this ?
Comment by Chickenman on 2015-10-23:
Can you install tutorial packages or which error message do you get. I gave you commands for installing tutorial packages. It worked for me.

I had a problem with install but I did this with your commands. Now i have problem with turltesim_nodes
Comment by Chickenman on 2015-10-24:
Did you ran catkin_make ?
Try this command and send me what you got from console you probably did not setup your workspace correctly.
$ printenv | grep ROS
And tell me where is your ros_catkin_ws My is at /home/pi/ros_catkin_ws
Comment by Grzybek on 2015-10-24:
`ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros/indigo/share/ros
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/pi/catkin_ws/src:/opt/ros/indigo/share:/opt/ros/indigo/stacks
ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311
ROS_DISTRO=indigo
ROS_ETC_DIR=/opt/ros/indigo/etc/ros
My ros_catkin_ws is the same place where yours.
Comment by Grzybek on 2015-10-24:
And when i try use catkin_make in ros_catkin_ws i have
pi@~/ros_catkin_ws $ catkin_make
Base path: /home/pi/ros_catkin_ws
Source space: /home/pi/ros_catkin_ws/src
The specified base path "/home/pi/ros_catkin_ws" contains a CMakeLists.txt but "catkin_make" must be invoked in the the root of workspace
Comment by Chickenman on 2015-10-24:
ok so open your .bashrc file
$ cd
$ nano .bashrc
and put this two lines of text at the end of the file
source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash
source ~/ros_catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
and save the file restart your console and try catkin_make or running the turtlesim

Nothing has change. I have the same messages.
Comment by Chickenman on 2015-10-24:
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/pi/catkin_ws/src how you got this path there should be ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/pi/ros_catkin_ws/src do you have catkin_ws or ros_catkin ws as your working directory ?

I dont know. I installed ros by tutorial: http://wiki.ros.org/ROSberryPi/Installing%20ROS%20Indigo%20on%20Raspberry%20Pi and created ros_catkin_ws after that i go to "core ros tutorial" and create new ros workspace: catkin_ws.
Comment by Grzybek on 2015-10-27:
Next step was to install tutorial_package so i install it with your command. But ros cant find it by "roscd ros_tutorials" so i logout and log in as root. I copied dir with tutorials to /opt/ros/indigo/share/ And now ros can find this package. I use roscore , ros make turtlesim
Comment by Chickenman on 2015-10-28:
ok so you can use turtlesim now yeah ?. I am not verry skilled at ROS. On my Pc i am using catkin_ws but on raspberry i am using ros_catkin_ws as worskpace and i did not created another catkin_ws (which creation was described in "core ros tutorial") because it did not work for me well.
