Raspberry Pi Installation Fatal Error

asked 2020-06-11 10:06:10 -0600

I'm trying to install ROS on my Raspberry Pi 3 using this tutorial Installing ROS Kinetic on the Raspberry Pi I have followed all the steps successfully until I got up to rebuilding the workspace at the end. At which point it got to package 31 out of 79 'rospack' claiming "No such file or directory".

It says:

Reproduce this error by running:
cd /home/pi/ros_catkin_ws/build_isolated/rospack && /opt/ros/kinetic/env.sh make -j4 -l4

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'll need to give more error output than that. Which folder is is trying to find? What OS did you install and which version of ROS? Those instructions might also be outdated, so consider just moving on and seeing if things work as expected.

Installing ROS on Pi 3 is straightforward. Your best bet is to keep things as plain vanilla as possible, meaning use the correct version of Ubuntu to match the ROS release you are targeting. If you start with the appropriate version of Ubuntu installed onto your Pi 3, then you can simply follow the standard ROS install instructions and they will work!

For ROS Kinetic, you'll want to target the Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) release. For other versions of ROS, check the page:

Keeping things vanilla means you'll get the most stable configuration, as it's the one many others are using, albeit on different hardwares.

For Ubuntu install:

Keep in mind that unless you have a specific reason for targeting Kinetic, you might prefer to use a newer version of ROS/Ubuntu, like Melodic/18.04.
