I'm installing Groovy on ubuntu 12.04,when I'm configuring the environment,the following error occurs,(before this command it runs smoothly )

bash:/opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash:no such file or directory.

I installed Fuerte a few days ago ,but before I'm configuring the environment for Groovy ,I have uninstalled it. I have tried to open the file to check whether it exist or not ,put the command gedit /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash on the terminal,it was opened ,but it was empty. What can I do to solve it ,thank you!

gedit /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash will open with empty doc, no matter if the file exists and is empty or does not exist. Go to the path in your file system (cd /opt cd ros cd hydro) and check (ls) whether the file exists...

Does the file or the entire folder (/opt/ros/hydro) exist? If not something might have gone wrong during sudo apt-get install or so, i. e. reinstall...

the entire folder (/opt/ros/hydro) does not exist, Do I have to reinstall ROS ? And I want to know the importance of the configuration of the evironment.

ROS is not installed in this case, try starting again for scratch with the steps noted here http://wiki.ros.org/hydro/Installation/Ubuntu

If you want to use groovy, not hydro, you should source the file /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash not /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash.

Edit:

Please open your the file ~/.bashrc in an editor and check the lines that relate to ros (likely at the end of the file). There should be one line source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash. If there are multiple, or lines containting hyrdo, like source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash, then remove them and try again by opening a fresh terminal.

the following are my cammands,I followed http://wiki.ros.org/groovy/Installation/Ubuntu echo "source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc when I entered the second command,error occurs,said bash:/opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash:no such file or directory.I 'm confused about it.

If the problem is solved, please mark one of the answers as accepted. If you have another question, open up another question. You will have to be a bit more specific than "I want to know the importance of the configuration of the evironment." though.

gedit /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash will open with empty document, no matter if the file exists and is empty or does not exist. Go to the path in your file system (cd /opt cd ros cd hydro) and check (ls ) whether the file exists... Most likely the entire folder /opt/ros/hydro will not exist. If that's the case something went wrong during the installation. Try repeating the steps mentioned in http://wiki.ros.org/hydro/Installatio... and watch carefully for possible errors..
