Hi Ysuga,

I guess there is no simple way to do that. The two solutions I would advice are: 1) Make function which calls "rosmsg show"/"rossrv show" on the remote host (the one with ROS installed) and forward the results to your computer (the one without ROS). 2) Modify rosmsg and rossrv scripts so they search on a remote host.

Hope this will help you,

Guido
