ROS VERSION : INDIGO (desktop-full) OS : Ubuntu 14.04

I install ROS using prebuild debian(sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop-full). Going through ROS tutorials, i get the following error while creating a workspace(catkin_make)

ImportError: "from catkin_pkg.package import parse_package" failed: No module named catkin_pkg.package
Make sure that you have installed "catkin_pkg", it is up to date and on the PYTHONPATH.

`anaconda` may be interfering, can you do `python -c "import catkin_pkg; print(catkin_pkg.__version__)"`?

I believe that the issue is with a path conflict with ROS and Anaconda. I experienced the same thing a while back.

sudo apt-get install ros doesn't work on Ubuntu 14.04. You should compile ROS or install Ubuntu 12.04.

Also catkin work on hydro version. I wonder if it can work on Indigo.

hsoltani ( 2014-05-31 02:04:31 -0500 )edit

Yes, ROS Indigo packages are available for Ubuntu Trusty (14.04).

Looks like you need to install catkin_pkg:

sudo apt-get install python-catkin-pkg

python-catkin-pkg is already install along with ros-indigo-full-desktop. Tried it and all it did was change python-catkin-pkg to manually installed.

what do you mean not working? i just follow this link for the installation : http_wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/Ubuntu

i did not get any error during the installation. Only when i follow the tutorial up to "creating workspace" do i receive the error.
