Revision history [back]

It is important that you keep the original value of ROS_PACKAGE_PATH, i.e. never omit the trailing :$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH when redefining the variable:

export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/alonsoj1/ros_workspace:/home/alonsoj1/ros:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

Also, your paths should not end with a slash, i.e. write /home/alonsoj1/ros instead of /home/alonsoj1/ros/
