I agree here. If there is a dependency on the .msg format, these components
should be disabled in non-ros environments or a mechanism must be provided
to create the headers without depending on roscore.

We should consider such a dependency the same way as depending
on corba idl files: Detect the middleware and if not present, disable.

Hello,

first installing the binary version of ROS and than the source version
solved the installation problems. for ROS+ORCOS.
