Hi Group:

I am trying to install the orocos-bfl library under Linux Ubuntu.

I follow the steps of the web site:

1. First add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://people.mech.kuleuven.be/~tdelaet/bfl _mydistro_ main

where _mydistro_ is breezy, dapper, edgy or feisty.
2. Then apt-get the packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install orocos-bfl

By I got this problem:

E: Couldn't find package orocos-bfl

Please any input will be useful,

Have a nice day,

Aldo
