Revision history [back]

Don't use file names with spaces on Linux. It breaks lots of tools, not just ROS.

If you have a tool which uses spaces in the file name, you could try making a symlink around the directory name with a space; for example:

cd ~
ln -s /home/dell/SpiderOak\ Hive/catkin_workspace

Now you can:

cd ~/catkin_workspace
catkin_make

etc without the space in the path name
