Sounds like you have to run
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-map-server
(assuming you're using ROS Indigo). If that doesn't help, there might indeed be a problem with your path setup and @TomSon's advice applies.
This means you likely have some sort of package install/version conflict that normally does not appear on a clean Ubuntu install. Either google for "is not going to be installed" and learn how to resolve this, or perform a fresh install of Ubuntu.
Ok, normally dependencies like this should be installed automatically, so there might still be an issue lingering. But you can probably ignore that for now :)
add this lines to your .bashrc
source /opt/ros/<ros-distro>/setup.bash
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/<user>/catkin_ws:/opt/ros/<ros-distro>/share:/opt/ros/<ros-distro>/stacks
export ROS_WORKSPACE=/home/<user>/catkin_ws
for example
source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/bgs/catkin_ws:/opt/ros/kinetic/share:/opt/ros/kinetic/stacks
export ROS_WORKSPACE=/home/bgs/catkin_ws
Check your source path. (normally in .bashrc) Check that you have installed and run rospack rosdep map_server (I use that to assure the dependencies)
