I believe you have just made some typos, the errors above are coming up because the build system cannot find roscpy and std_msg, which is probably because they should be rospy and std_msgs, respectively.

I think if you update your CMakeLists.txt to fix these typos, then it should work for you.

don't forget to also update your package.xml file

Hi all, my name is Gianantonio, just a beginner with ROS. I had the same problem and went around for a while. I must admit that this tutorial is quite perfectly working, thanks to the writers ;-)) but... perfection is not of humans so we have to study, try and fix. We only learn from errors ;-)) When you are at Creating ROS package > para 4. Building a catkin Workspace, before typing catkin_make, go to "../catkin_ws/src/beginners_tutorials" and you should find a file named package.xml . Open it and correct sdt_msg into std_msgs. Save and continue. For my setup, this fixed the problem ;-))

Thanks again to all the creators of this tutorial. It's encouraging for a beginner like myself.
