Hi,

I would like to know how to use a package, say image_view for cturtle in diamondback. I tried to copy and paste in the diamondback, but, too many in dependencies have to resolve.

I guess there will be an elegant way of doing it.

Thanks in advance..

I actually want to use image_view package. It is there, the executable in the /opt/ros/diamondback/stacks/image_pipeline/image_view/bin directory. In the .../image_view directory, I've already exported the package path using this command: export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=$PWD:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH. The problem is that when I run to invoke rosrun in the terminal, it is not auto-completing the image_view or the like, instead, it straightaway gives "rosrun image_transport"..huhu. Any ideas?? alfa_80 (Feb 18 '11)edit

Try running 'rospack profile' to update your list of packages known to rospack -- that might help your auto-completion issues. fergs (Feb 18 '11)edit

Unfortunately, it didn't work running 'rospack profile'. alfa_80 (Feb 19 '11)edit

Please post `echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH` output, and `echo $ROS_ROOT`. joq (Feb 20 '11)edit

Running"echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH" gives "/home/shah/ni/ni:/opt/ros/unstable/stacks" and running "echo $ROS_ROOT" gives "/opt/ros/unstable/ros". How do I change to diamondback because I do not want to use unstable. alfa_80 (Feb 20 '11)edit
