Failed to install yaml-cpp0.2.6-dev

Hi guys

I'm currently working with ros electric. I instaled it from source as Bare Bones and i have to install yaml-cpp0.2.6-dev now.

Normally it should work easily with sudo apt-get install yaml-cpp0.2.6-dev. But then i get this error:

E: Unable to locate package yaml-cpp0.2.6-dev

E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'yaml-cpp0.2.6-dev'

This is weird. I have set up the correct software source for ros. I have no problem to install that on my netbook, but my arm machine doesn't seem to find it. Do i have to manuelly install it on my arm machine? And if where can i find it?

Thanks for your help i don't know what to do :/

What OS version are you running?

I fixed it by myself. I installed yaml-cpp from source. Rosdep is still complaining about the missing yaml-cpp, but uvc_camera compiled without any errors and works nicely now with my webcam :)

You can use check-install command to install it so that rosdep will not complain: sudo checkinstall --pkgname=yaml-cpp --provides=yaml-cpp --pkgversion=0.3.0 (Use relevant pkgversion based on what you download)
