Revision history [back]

I ran across the same error when trying to rosrun after doing a catkin_make install, it turned out I had the install TARGETS set to CATKIN_GLOBAL_BIN_DESTINATION instead of CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION (because I had copied that from somewhere else?), and the executables were going into install/bin rather than install/lib/my_package.
