rosjava on Ubuntu-USB-stick

Hi there!

I've tried to install and run rosjava on a Ubuntu 10.04 USB-Stick. newest versions of ros electric, eclipse and jdk are installed

The rosjava installation (into the stacks-folder) finished without error (also tried several reinstalls)

When I run rosmake (e.g. in the pubsub tutorial) it never finishes (Task 27/28 runs for hours, counting seconds but not finishing)

I even tried to copy the entire ros-directory the local harddrive and to change the $ROSPACKAGEPATH and running it there. No changes at all.

When I abort the making (ctrl+c) it throws this error:

rosrun rosjavabootstrap generateproperties.py rosjavatutorialpubsub > ros.properties if [ ! -f .project ] ; then sed s/PROJECTNAME/rosjavatutorialpubsub/ `rospack find rosjavabootstrap`/eclipse/eclipse-project-template > .project ; touch .project-generated; fi if [ ! -f .classpath ] ; then rosrun rosjavabootstrap generateproperties.py --eclipse rosjavatutorialpubsub > .classpath ; touch .classpath-generated; fi rosrun rosjavabootstrap generatemsgdepends.py rosjavatutorialpubsub [rosrun] You have chosen a non-unique executable, please pick one of the following: 1) /media/DATA/rostest/ros/electric/stacks/rosjavacore/rosjavabootstrap/scripts/generatemsgdepends.py 2) /media/DATA/rostest/ros/electric/stacks/rosjavacore/rosjavabootstrap/src/main/python/rosjavabootstrap/generatemsgdepends.py

any ideas?

That definitely looks like a bug. I guess it's a problem with the distribution though. rosjava_bootstrap/scripts/generate_msg_depends.py does not exist. Maybe try installing rosjava from source?

We tried this already, with no luck. As a workaround we changed the setup now, so that we are not booting ubuntu from a usb-stick but running it directly in a virtual box (so we can take the VM to other computers)
