Revision history [back]

You need to include the new directory in your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH. I do this by adding the following to my .bashrc:

export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/myuser/mypackagesdirectory:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/myuser/mypackagesdirectory:/opt/ros/diamondback/stacks

(Don't forget to source your .bashrc after adding this line)
