Revision history [back]

Try:

apt-get install ros-indigo-navigation

It contains the costmap_2d package. I also had to install ros-indigo-pcl-conversions and ros-indigo-pcl-ros to finally get the hector-navigation stack to work. This is all assuming you have ROS Indigo installed of course. Good luck!
