Hi all, So i asked the above question a couple of weeks back (of renaming the Home dir), and 'make clean' helped to solve my problem temporarily. But now, i've noticed that many directories inside my ROS installation folder (like ros_comm, common_msgs and many others) still point to the old home name. Hence, i'm again getting many errors when i'm compiling. One work around this problem is that i look at the error log and manually go to the concerned directories and do 'make clean' to regenerate the CMakeCache.txt files in each case. This does work but very painful because there are so many directories to regenerate manually. Is there any way to automatically regenerate these files in all the directories in one go ?
Can joq or others please help ? Thanks..

This does work but very painful because there are so many directories to regenerate manually. Is there any way to automatically automatically/recursively regenerate these files in all the directories in one go ?
Can joq or others please help ? Thanks..
