initial version

If you copied the files from an external drive that was formatted for windows, the execute permissions on your files were probably lost.

It's also possible that your files are owned by the wrong user, but this is unlikely.

You could fix this by going through each file and fixing the permissions by restoring read and/or execute permission where necessary.

The less labor-intensive and safer way to fix this is by rebuilding the workspace, if you can. Just delete the build and devel folders, and run catkin_make to rebuild the workspace. This has the additional benefit of making sure that all of your executables will be recompiled for the new machine, since it might have slightly different versions of packages.
