Hi!
I know this question has been asked dozen of times already. So sorry for asking it again, but I really have problems dealing with it and I'm trying for hours now. It seems like the answers for older releases of ROS don't work for Indigo or maybe just for me. :(
I'd just want to install the [descartes-package](https://github.com/ros-industrial-consortium/descartes/tree/indigo-devel) from source as there is no `sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-descartes`.
Can somebody help me out here please?
**Edit:**
Among others I already tried [this approach](http://answers.ros.org/question/60570/how-do-i-install-and-run-a-ros-package/):
there when I type `rosws set --svn https://github.com/ros-industrial-consortium/descartes.git` the error appears `ERROR in config: Command requires a target workspace.`
also this [one](http://answers.ros.org/question/115261/how-to-install-an-individual-package-in-ros-hydro/):
but when entering `wstool merge descartes_catkin.rosinstall`, I get the error `ERROR in config: Is not a local file, nor a valid URL [descartes_catkin.rosinstall] : unknown url type: descartes_catkin.rosinstall`
In my distress I then tried `git clone https://github.com/ros-industrial-consortium/descartes.git -b -indigo-devel` and then `catkin_make` as this was the way to get the UR-package. But then in the C-API the `#include ` and the other includes of descartes coud not be recognized by the compiler.
