What is failing for you is the ruby stuff, which, on the toolchain-2.5,
is broken for wheezy

The only packages you are interested in are ocl and rtt, just do

autoproj build ocl rtt

Please use -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= $(pwd)/../../install
when running ccmake from your build directory. We have by convention an
'install' directory alongside the packages. Anyhow it also works for
/usr/local afaikt.

You need to select the correct branch, first, so the rtt-2.0-examples
branch. Second, yes, the 'simple' examples have never been upgraded.
We'd better remove them and keep rtt-exercises only.

there is also the ROS way, using debian pkgs, which can be practical if
you use ROS, or don't care installing it alongside
See http://www.ros.org/wiki/orocos_toolchain_ros (although not available
yet for the latest ubuntu versions)
