I am following instalation guide (with slightly changes described on generic source installation.

After:

 i@C3PO catkin_ws]$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro groovy -y

I get:

WARNING: Metapackage "diagnostics" must buildtool_depend on catkin.
ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved
to system dependencies:
tf2_geometry_msgs: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [orocos_kdl]
kdl_parser: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [orocos_kdl]
tf2_kdl: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [orocos_kdl]
kdl_conversions: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [orocos_kdl]
eigen_conversions: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [orocos_kdl]

What can I do to resolve this problem?

// edit 1: cant do

rosinstall_generator orocos_kdl --rosdistro groovy --deps --wet-only > orocos_kdl.rosinstall

I get

The following not released packages/stacks will be ignored: orocos_kdl No packages/stacks left after ignoring not released

edit 2. I feel i'll have to install Ubuntu, sadly

There seems to be a general problem on groovy with orcos_kdl for the source install. This will be the same on Ubuntu (though the install from deb will likely work). Any reason you need to use groovy and not hydro?

I don't need orocos_kdl but sth. requires it at ros installation stage. I wanted groovy to have same ros distro on pc and robot, but I've installed additionally Ubuntu to make things easier.

Makes sense. I openend an issue about this problem: https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/issues/4792

It seems that orocos_kdl is not released into groovy. You could ask the author to release it for groovy over at https://github.com/orocos/orocos_kine... , or use hydro instead.

Alternatively, you can try also try to use the hydro version of just orocos_kdl and see if that works.

rosinstall_generator orocos_kdl --rosdistro hydro --wet-only > orocos_kdl.rosinstall
wstool merge -t src orocos_kdl.rosinstall
wstool up -t src

It looks like your wstool step didn't download the orocos_kdl package for some reason.

You should be able to add it to your workspace by doing something like:

rosinstall_generator orocos_kdl --rosdistro groovy --deps --wet-only > orocos_kdl.rosinstall
wstool merge -t src orocos_kdl.rosinstall
wstool up -t src
edit flag offensive delete link more
