Hi,

I am trying to do the tutorial : http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Cre...

I did already:

 source /home/fschiano/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash

And I am in the catkin_ws folder.

But when I give the command

rospack find foobar

I get the error:

[rospack] Error: package 'foobar' not found

How can I solve this?

thanks.

Try a rospack profile (after you've sourced setup.bash).

If that doesn't work, make sure foobar actually is a ROS package (has a manifest: package.xml).

Also make sure there is no CATKIN_IGNORE file in the package directory.

Edit: your last comment does not correspond to what you wrote in your OP. Anyway, these steps should work (in a fresh terminal):

cd /home/fschiano/catkin_ws
source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash
# (this step is optional, only if the next step doesn't immediately work)
rospack profile
rospack find foobar

If rospack cannot find foobar then, something is wrong.

When I type rospack profile I get :

want to delete these directories.
To get just of list of directories without manifests,
re-run the profile with --zombie-only

I always get : [rospack] Error: package 'foobar' not found

I am in this folder

/home/fschiano/catkin_ws

and I do first :

source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash

then

rospack profile

and then

rospack find foobar

catkin_ws folder has to stay in the ros folder?
