Hi, thanks for the answer. Yes, I called apt-get update, and I used sudo. The problem was/is, that I could not set the repository path. I gave up finding out why, and installed from the *.tar file.
Best,
Irene

If you are using an older Debian/Ubuntu version, just add the line

  deb-src http://www.fmtc.be/debian etch main

to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and issue

  sudo apt-get update

Then proceed with the instructions... We really need a wiki for this kind of
stuff. I'm the bottleneck here.

The issue is fixed on in the docs of rtt-trunk since r29125
<http://svn.mech.kuleuven.be/websvn/orocos/trunk/rtt/doc/xml/orocos-installation.xml?op=diff&rev=29125&sc=1>
, but not yet backported to the 1.4 series.

@peter: I think the error has nothing to do with older debian/ubuntu

versions, but is just due to the fact that this page
<http://www.orocos.org/stable/documentation/rtt/v1.4.x/doc-xml/orocos-installation.html#id2513342>
is not updated yet.

I think older Debian/Ubuntu versions don't support the apt/sources.list.d/
directory... and you need to adapt the apt/sources.list file directly.

There appears to be an error in the second instruction, where the url is wrong

1. sudo wget -q http://www.fmtc.be/sources.list.d/fmtc.list -O

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/fmtc.list

should be

1. sudo wget -q http://www.fmtc.be/debian/sources.list.d/fmtc.list -O

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/fmtc.list

I vaguely remember I've seen this error before though...
