This stuff can get very confusing and cause serious errors.
The general recommendation when switching workspaces is always to open a new shell, and source the relevant setup.bash. For catkin, that is normally in devel/ subdirectory.

UPDATE: If you are sourcing the correct setup.bash in your ~/.bashrc and creating a new shell (or rebooting) does not work, there must have been something wrong when you originally created your workspace. The usual error is having forgetten to source the appropriate lower-level setup.bash before running catkin_make.
That is an easy mistake to make. When I find myself in that situation, I do one of these recovery procedures:
src/ subdirectory, source the correct dependency, then re-run catkin_make or catkin_init_workspace.| | 3 | No.3 Revision |
