+It is recommended to install the ROS stacks for which .deb packages exist first, also because this is the easiest way to get all system dependencies installed:
+  sudo aptitude install ros-fuerte-knowrob ros-fuerte-ias-common
 Copy the following [[http://www.ros.org/doc/independent/api/rosinstall/html/|rosinstall rules]] into a text file in your ROS workspace, e.g. yourname.rosinstall.

+Note: As an alternative to creating and merging a rosinstall file into your workspace you can also manually add each one at a time using the command 'rosws set ...'. Usage of this command is shown in the next section.
+To compile the software, please refer to the next section for information about how to install the required ROS and system dependencies.

 Now everything should be resolved and you are ready to compile. The //rosmake// command automatically compiles all dependencies and the package or stack given as argument. If later on you already have compiled all dependencies and just updated the package itself, it's also safe to just call //make// in that package, which does not re-build the dependencies (and is therefore faster).
