I use groovy distribution & catkin first , I wrote the simple publisher & subscriber example that in beginner tutorials

then I tried to examine it following the following steps

  • typing command roscore in catkin

  • I made sure I have sourced my workspace's setup.sh file after calling catkin_make but before

trying to my applications:

>  In your catkin workspace
>      cd ~/catkin_ws    
>      source ./devel/setup.bash
  • run the node talker using command

rosrun beginner_tutorials talker

but, when I typed command rosrun beginner_tutorials talker I recevied in output:

[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named talker below /home/eman/catkin_ws/src/beginner_tutorials

even though the node talker exists in the src of begibnner_turorials package & my CMakeLists.txt file looks like that:-

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(beginner_tutorials)

any help,please

I wonder what is the reason for having that error??

  • I made sure that Ros can find my
    package ( beginner_tutorials ) using command rospack find beginner_tutorials & it returns its path
/home/eman/catkin_ws/src/beginner_tutorials

so, that mean ros can see & find my package .


  • I also made sure that the code of 2 nodes talker & listener exits in the src folder of my package

  • , but when I tried to build the code using command catkin_make

  1. typing 1st command cd ~/catkin_ws/src

  2. then typing 2nd command catkin_make

I had that error :-

> The specified base path
> "/home/eman/catkin_ws/src" contains a
> CMakeLists.txt but "catkin_make" must
> be invoked in the root of workspace

I tried also

  • 1-typing 1st command cd ~/catkin_ws

  • 2- then typing 2nd command catkin_make

but, I had error

  CMake Error at /opt/ros/groovy/share/roscpp ...

Do you see build output from your node when executing catkin_make? In your src folder there only should be the source code of your node, because catkin does out-of-source-builds.

@BennyRe firstly, thank you very much for your help & your note.God bless you amen After I had executed catkin_make , I had the following output eman@eman-K52F:~$ catkin_make Base path: /home/eman Source space: /home/eman/src Build space: /home/eman/build Devel space: /home/eman/devel Install space: /home/eman/install #### #### Running command: "make cmake_check_build_system" in "/home/eman/build" #### #### #### Running command: "make -j4 -l4" in "/home/eman/build" #### eman@eman-K52F:~$ you mean by src folder ( the src folder of the package beginner_tutorials ) ??? am I right ?

@BennyRe I made sure that the code of 2 nodes ( talker & listener ) are found in the src folder of the package beginner_tutorials ,but I still having the same error [rosrun] Couldn't find executable named talker below /home/eman/catkin_ws/src/beginner_tutorials I am really sorry for disturbance , but I have the same error & I don't know what to do

The output of catkin_make looks strange. There should be some output of your package. Did you create the package and your workspace correctly. Did you follow the catkin workspace tutorial? I mean, because your src/build/devel folders are located directly in your home folder.

It'll probably help if you can edit your question to include your CMakeLists.txt file.

@BennyRe Thank you very much for your response . God bless you amen. I am sorry for being late to reply , but I had a problem with my internet connection . I suppose I created the package and my workspace correctly . &yes, I followed the catkin workspace tutorial and every thing was going well similar to the outputs of the tutorial at that time .

@BennyRe The output may look strange because I didn't type the command " cd ~/catkin_ws/ before typing command " catkin_make " I am not sure about that ,but may be that was the reason. That output after 1-typing command " cd ~/catkin_ws/ " 2- then typing command " catkin_make " eman@eman-K52F:~/catkin_ws/src$ cd ~/catkin_ws/ eman@eman-K52F:~/catkin_ws$ catkin_make Base path: /home/eman/catkin_ws Source space: /home/eman/catkin_ws/src Build space: /home/eman/catkin_ws/build Devel space: /home/eman/catkin_ws/devel Install space: /home/eman/catkin_ws/install #### #### Running command: "make cmake_check_build_system" in "/home/eman/catkin_ws/build" #### -- Using CATKIN_DEVEL_PREFIX: /home/eman/catkin_ws/devel -- Using CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH: /home/eman/catkin_ws/devel;/opt/ros/groovy -- This workspace overlays: /home/eman/catkin_ws/devel;/opt/ros/groovy -- Using Debian Python package layout -- Using CATKIN_ENABLE_TESTING: ON -- Call enable_testing()

@BennyRe but there is error at the end of the output -- +++ processing catkin package: 'beginner_tutorials' -- ==> add_subdirectory(beginner_tutorials) CMake Error at /opt/ros/groovy/share/roscpp/cmake/roscppConfig.cmake:130 (message): Project 'beginner_tutorials' tried to find library 'pthread'.

Based on your most recent update:

typing 1st command cd ~/catkin_ws/src

then typing 2nd command catkin_make

Your problem is that you need to invoke catkin_make in catkin_ws not catkin_ws/src.

However, this is a different mistake than some of the other error messages you've posted would indicate.

Thanks alot .God bless you amen but when I tried 1-typing 1st command cd ~/catkin_ws 2- then typing 2nd command catkin_make I had error CMake Error at /opt/ros/groovy/share/roscpp/cmake/roscppConfig.cmake:130 (message): Project 'beginner_tutorials' tried to find library 'pthread'.
