Hi, I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with ROS-groovy.
I followed the tutorial "InstallingandConfiguringROSEnvironment" on how to create a catkin workspace.
When I reboot my laptop I've to
source devel/setup.bash
to find packages in catkin_ws/src with the command
rospack find <package_name>
Clearly I'm doing something wrong or I'm misinformed.
I appreciate your help, Matt
Could You be more specific on the system You're running, please?
In general case, after adding source path_to_your/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash to ~/.bashrc it should work automagically on each start-up or new terminal run. More on this topic: step 8
Another solution would be adding an alias for mentioned source call. Something like:
alias robot1_ws="source path_to_your/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash"
alias robot2_ws="source path_to_your/catkin_ws2/devel/setup.bash"
alias robot3_ws="source path_to_your/catkin_ws3/devel/setup.bash"
in Your ~/.bash_aliases file. To source one of those workspaces You'd have only to type robot1_ws, robot2_ws or robot3_ws in the terminal.

I tried your solution and it worked. Thank you!
If Kamiccolo's answer was correct could you please "accept" it?
Sorry, I oversaw the "mark this answer as correct button" so I just voted it up. Now i fixed it.
