Question

I encontered error when I run roscore.

Roslaunch got a 'No such file or directory' error while attempting to run:

/opt/ros/fuerte/share/rosout/bin/rosout __name:=rosout __log:=/home/xcmai/.ros/log/6641ddba-1ef1-11e5-9ce7-782bcb967059/rosout-1.log

Please make sure that all the executables in this command exist and have
executable permission. This is often caused by a bad launch-prefix.

Can anyone know how to solve it?

Edit: Thank you, redskydeng.

I added ros environment variables, and then I ran roscore again. There was another error happening:

... logging to /home/epuck/.ros/log/b6a4138c-bfde-11d3-a726-8f981662d4a4/roslaunch-epuck1-987.log

Make sure that environment variables are set. It's convenient if the ROS environment variables are automatically added to your bash session every time a new shell is launched:

echo "source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

You can check it with

$ echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

You will see something like this:

/opt/ros/fuerte/share:/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks
