ERROR: cannot launch node of type : can't locate node in package

Hello, Actually I am trying to launch the ardrone in simulator with the command roslaunch. I have ROS fuerte version on Ubuntu 12.04. Iam running the roslaunch command in the following directory /opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/ardrone_autonomy/launch.

I have typed this command in my terminal roslaunch ardrone.launch. But I get following error:

[roslaunch][ERROR] 2015-04-07 02:08:08,214: can't locate node [ardrone_driver] in package [ardrone_autonomy]
[roslaunch][ERROR] 2015-04-07 02:08:08,214: ERROR: cannot launch node of type [ardrone_autonomy/ardrone_driver]: can't locate node [ardrone_driver] in package [ardrone_autonomy]

Does I need to install ardrone_driver in ardrone_autonomy package. Thanks in advance for your help.

Does I need to connect a real drone with WIFI.

Please help me on this topic Iam totally blocked. Thanks alot. Regards, Hassan RAZA

Did you do the following command: "source ~/catkin_package/devel/setup.bash" and "source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash ?"

Thanks lilouch for your comment. Sorry for late reply Yes I have tried source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash this command but the problem is not resolved.

I have discovered in repository /opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/ardrone_autonomy/src the ardrone_driver.h is missing. Probably the lake of this file is preventing to launch ardrone driver. as you can see the list of files that should be here https://github.com/tum-vision/ardrone_autonomy/tree/master/src
