These instructions just works fine to me....
However, if you would like to save some compiling time, under ROS they are
already several debian packages for Ubuntu 12.04 in order to have Orocos
working.
To give a try, just get these:

apt-get install ros-fuerte-orocos-toolchain ros-fuerte-rtt-common-msgs
ros-fuerte-geometry ros-fuerte-ros-comm ros-fuerte-rtt-ros-integration

(I hope I didn't forget anyone)

Hope this helps,

Hi Milan,

My understanding is that the official, recommended way to install the
orocos toolchain is no longer through ROS, it is through a ~different
meta operating system / package manager called ROCK / autoproj.

Instructions are here:

http://www.orocos.org/wiki/orocos/toolchain/quick-start-linux

There does not exist a single git repo that you can just clone and
build the toolchain in a standard CMake way. I found manually
checking out and building all of the individual packages to be
impractical, and spent several workdays failing to build a working
Orocos toolchain.

Cheers,
Andrew
