-- +++ processing catkin package: 'tf' -- ==> add_subdirectory(geometry/tf) CMake Error at /opt/ros/hydro/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:72 (find_package): Could not find a configuration file for package angles.

Set angles_DIR to the directory containing a CMake configuration file for angles. The file will have one of the following names:

anglesConfig.cmake
angles-config.cmake

Call Stack (most recent call first): geometry/tf/CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package)

I have a working version on BBB where I see both tf and tf2* in /opt/ros/hydro/share. I have a non working version with no tf in share. how do I build or install tf so it either get's to share or is built in a catkin workspace? I have geometry built in the carkin workspace - and it list tf as being there.

As of hydro tf uses tf2 under the hood. There should be no conflict between them.

The cmake error you posed indicates that you don't have the angles package installed. Have you tried installing it?

sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-angles

More generally, if you have a workspace where the dependencies may be missing, you can usually install them with rosdep:

rosdep install --from-paths src -i

Thank you !! I wish your more general option would be mentioned on more places !

I guess even in 6 years this important info is still missing from many places

Thanks Austin and Tully, your answers fixed most of my issues.I now have a working uvc_camera. I still seem to be missing a dependency in sensor-msgs, though as far as I can tell it is installed(git clone of common-msgs in the catkin_ws).

I did a complete fresh install on a 12.04 bbb.

still get:

ubuntu@ubuntu-armhf:~/catkin_ws$ rosdep install --from-paths src -i executing command [sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-tf] Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package ros-hydro-tf is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'ros-hydro-tf' has no installation candidate ERROR: the following rosdeps failed to install apt: command [sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-tf] failed

aptitude install of ros-hydro-navigation also fails like this:

The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: dbus 4 packages upgraded, 279 newly installed, 0 to remove and 23 not upgraded. Need to get 144 MB of archives. After unpacking 522 MB will be used. The following packages have unmet dependencies: ros-hydro-navfn : Depends: ros-hydro-tf which is a virtual package. ros-hydro-fake-localization : Depends: ros-hydro-tf which is a virtual package. ros-hydro-costmap-2d : Depends: ros-hydro-tf which is a virtual package. ros-hydro-pcl-ros : Depends: ros-hydro-tf which is a virtual package. ros-hydro-dwa-local-planner : Depends: ros-hydro-tf which is a virtual package. ros-hydro-carrot-planner : Depends: ros-hydro-tf which is a virtual package. ros-hydro-laser-geometry : Depends: ros-hydro-tf which is a virtual package. etc.

You should be able to install sensor_msgs from debs: sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-sensor-msgs. In fact, you should NEVER have to install a core package like sensor_msgs from source unless you're doing the whole build from source.

According to the ARM status page, you should also be able to install uvc_camera from debs: sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-uvc-camera
