rosmake does not find your package arbotix, which indicates that you have not set up your environment properly.

Which version of ROS are you using and where is the arbotix package located? How did your get the code? (Edit your question to include all this information).

Edit: I'm pretty sure you have not set up your environemnt successfully if rosmake does not find the package arbotix.

You will want to have something like the following lines in your .bashrc:

source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/arbotix:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

I'm using groovy on ubuntu 12.04,I get the code through svn checkout http://vanadium-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/arbotix, and it is located in the home folder. I have set up my environment successfully.

Hello,demmeln ,when I want to rosmake files ,I must run the two cmmands you refered above before rosmaking files , if not ,I would get errors like that ,this would be a little troublesome I think,how could I do to solve it permanently? Thank you!

You can add them to your .bashrc file so that they get executed automatically every time you open a terminal.
