Hi,

I'm going through the ROS tutorials and am stuck at creating a workspace (http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/...).

When I try and run catkin_make, I keep getting the following

ImportError: "from catkin_pkg.package import parse_package" failed: No module named catkin_pkg.package
Make sure that you have installed "catkin_pkg", it is up to date and on the PYTHONPATH.
CMake Error at /opt/ros/hydro/share/catkin/cmake/safe_execute_process.cmake:11 (message):

/opt/ros/hydro/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:20 (include)
CMakeLists.txt:52 (find_package)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
Invoking "cmake" failed

However, catkin_pkg is installed AND on my PYTHON PATH

echo $PYTHONPATH 
/opt/ros/hydro/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:/usr/share/pyshared/catkin_pkg

Also, EXTREMELY SORRY that I fail at pasting dialog from the terminal on here.

resolved using

pip install catkin_pkg

I'm using EPD, and the package was installed on a different Python

You should only install packages from PIP when you are on a platform which does not use Debian packages. Otherwise install the package "python-catkin-pkg".

this does not solve the issue, catkin_pkg is already installed with pip in my case and i still get the above error.

Have you installed anaconda? If yes, maybe you should commet the anaconda path in .bashrc

Hi,I meet the same question.And unfortunately pip and pip3 command couldn't help me.

So I back to the root folder by :cd /

And search my catkin_kpg by :find . -name catkin_kpg

Find my catkin_kpg in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

While I check my PYTHONPATH by:echo $PYTHONPATH and find there is only one adr: /opt/ros/indigo/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

That folder have no catkin_kpg So I add the adr:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages into my .bashrc after that I catkin_make success.

I gess mr_d's PYTHONPATH:/usr/share/pyshared/catkin_pkg is need to be /usr/share/pyshared/ or somewhere else.

Hope it can help someone.
