Revision history [back]

Ok, the problem vanished the same way as it came. I did not do anything except putting an alias in the bashrc like this:

alias cat_make='cd ~/catkin_ws/ && catkin_make && source devel/setup.bash'

this is exactly what I did a million times already... opened up a new shell, ran cat_make and suddenly my package could be found again...

Strange.
