catkin_make error: invoking "cmake" failed
I'm on ubuntu 14.04 I'm using ROS indigo. I am new to ROS. I know there are similar questions on here but their answers didn't help me.
I've been following some ROS/catkin tutorials and am currently on this one: http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/... .
The instructions all worked fine until I got to catkin_make. Roscore was running in a separate terminal at the time.
I took a snapshot of the error and was going to upload it but apparently I don't have enough points. (If you want to teach newbies to write questions in an easy-to-follow way, it'd be useful to allow them to upload screenshots.)
I uploaded the screenshot to photobucket instead:
Personally I'd rather ppl copy/paste the console text, as it is then indexed by search engines, whereas images are not. Also: img hosts have different retention policies, which can lead to screenshots disappearing.
Can you please tell us how you installed ROS, which VM product you are using and what arch this is?
I'm not sure what a VM product is or what an arch is. I just realized that windows 8.1 was incorrect (I got confused cos this computer has two operating systems), I'm using ROS on Ubuntu 14.04. I installed ROS by following the steps in this link: http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installati...
VM == virtual machine, arch == processor architecture. As you reported you were running Windows 8.1, the only way to have ROS running would be in a virtual machine, hence my question.
Hi.I have met the same situation. Have you solved it yet? Thanks for your help.
