I've attemted to move related packages (openrtm_aist, openrtm_aist_python) to 
the following different locations and ran catkin_make, but the error message is 
the same:

- %CATKIN_SRC%/openrtm_common/openrtm_aist_core (default)
- %CATKIN_SRC%/openrtm_common
- %CATKIN_SRC%/

This should be fixed in r5977,

Unfortunately r5077 doesn't seem to fix this.
In fact with tag openrtm_common-3.1.5 (probably the one made in r5071) the same 
error occurs.

r5079 bypasses the issue, but then occurs with hrpsys too, which was able to be 
worked around by r5081. Closing until this becomes an issue again.

The problems was execute_process(COMMAND a COMMAND b) is interpreted as `a|b` 
and 

execute_process(COMMAND cmake -E chdir ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} make -f Makefile.openrtm_aist installed COMMAND cmake -E copy_directory ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin ${CATKIN_DEVEL_PREFIX}/lib/${PROJECT_NAME}/bin # force copy under devel for catkin_package

does not work as I expected, so change to

execute_process(COMMAND cmake -E chdir ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} make -f Makefile.openrtm_aist) execute_process(COMMAND cmake -E copy_directory ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin ${CATKIN_DEVEL_PREFIX}/lib/${PROJECT_NAME}/bin)

note:
there are two way to invoke make -f Makefile.hogehoge, one is to use 
execute_process and other is to use add_custom_command, 
execute_process is called when cmake parsed catkin.cmake, where as 
add_custom_command is called when cmake runs make command.
If you need to use other package's path (i.e openrtm_aist_PREFIX) you need to 
use add_custom_command (as far as I understand...)
In addition to this, execute_process could not run command as PATH=hogehoge 
cmake, where as add_custom_command is able to run such command.

Therefor, currently, openrtm_aist uses execute_command, and other package 
(openhrp3, hrpsys) uses add_custom_command to use add_custom_command. 
openrtm_aist can use add_custom_command but using execute_process for 
openhrp3/hrpsys may difficult.
