I recently transferred all of my ROS files to a new computer using a flash drive. Afterward, I installed ROS on the new computer but didn't go through any of the tutorials. I ran catkin_make in catkin_ws, but I keep getting the error that the configuration file or module for many of my packages cannot be found. I think this is happening because some packages are being built before their dependencies, but I'm not sure. Is there a better way to transfer code from computer to computer or is there any way to fix this? I'm pretty sure all of these packages have dependency files.

An example of the errors I'm getting contains the text:

Call Stack (most recent call first): grasp_planner/CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package)

CMake Error at /opt/ros/hydro/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:72 (find_package): Could not find a configuration file for package moveit_ros_planning.

Set moveit_ros_planning_DIR to the directory containing a CMake configuration file for moveit_ros_planning. The file will have one of the following names:

moveit_ros_planningConfig.cmake
moveit_ros_planning-config.cmake

Did you delete the build and devel directories? In particular files created by cmake in build contains absolute paths, which will likely have changed after copying the code.

What do you mean by "but didn't go through any of the terminals" ?

Edit:

For best results it is probably good to also remove install. And then, to install all dependencies, inside your workspace, use rosdep again properly rosdep install --from-paths ./src --ignore-src --rosdistro hydro -y (notice the "hydro").

i didn't delete those directories. is there any way to quickly fix any relative addressing?

You should delete the `build` and `devel` directories and run catkin_make to build your workspace on your new system.

i've done that and now i'm still getting errors similar to the one above. i tried to install dependencies using "rosdep install --from-paths ./src --ignore-src --rosdistro groovy -y" but i'm getting errors similar to " Multiple packages found with the same name "rosserial_client": - install/share/rosserial_client - src/rosserial/rosserial_client "

I would also remove the install directory.

removed install, build, and devel, but still getting the same errors with catkin_make

Are you sure all of your dependencies are installed? Have you tried to install your dependencies now that you've removed the install folder that was causing your rosdep error?

ahendrix ( 2014-03-31 14:36:12 -0500 )edit

Removing install is probably a good idea. However getting the rosdep error is strange if you used the command you posted. With the `--from-paths ./src` option it should not have looked in `./install`. Nevermind... execute it again as @ahendrix suggests.
