can't find packages
I'm new to ROS. I got a project from previous developer and now i'm trying to compile it. the project uses several dependent packages (such as eigen, tf etc.) but it can't find any of them.
I installed ROS according to instructions and I can find these packages in /opt/ros/diamondback/stacks, but when I try to call rosmake or rosdep to any of them it fails to find them.
as I understood it searches in /home/username/.ros/rosmake/ when i call rosmake, which of course isn't correct. Where should I change it?
this is how it reacts to rosmake:
sergey@ubuntu:/opt/ros/diamondback/stacks/geometry$rosmake tf [ rosmake ] Packages requested are: ['tf'] [ rosmake ] Logging to directory/home/sergey/.ros/rosmake/rosmake_output-0110825-143550 [ rosmake ] Expanded args ['tf'] to: >[] [ rosmake ] WARNING: The following args could not be parsed as stacks or packages: >['tf'] [ rosmake ] ERROR: No arguments could be parsed into valid package or stack names.
Thank you
