Revision history [back]

The error you are seeing tells you that flir_ptu_driver cannot find one of its dependencies, in this case the serial package.

Depending on what you actually intend to do, you have two options:

1. install the binary release of flir_ptu_driver: something like sudo apt-get install ros-DISTRO-flir-ptu-driver should work. All dependencies should also be automatically installed for you this way.

2. make sure you have all dependencies installed before trying to catkin_make the sources: you can do this with rosdep, like so (see also the rosdep documentation):

   rosdep install --from-paths /path/to/your/catkin_ws/src --ignore-src
   

   after you have sourced the appropriate setup.bash for your ROS distro.

   Invoking catkin_make should now succeed (provided flir_pty_driver declares all its dependencies correctly).
