I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with ROS Groovy. When I run catkin_make, I receive the following error:

<my path>/ratio_layouted_frame.h:36:18: fatal error: QFrame: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

When I look up QFrame, it appears this is a part of pyqt4. Searching for pyqt4, I conclude this is used in the Indigo distribution. Am I correct with this assumption? Is there a way around this error?

Thanks for any help.

OK, I found something which indicates QFrame should be included with Groovy. Still can't get past this error...

I recommend retrying with Indigo on Ubuntu 14.04, since that's been the current release for the last year and will have the most support. I recently compiled ethzasl_ptam on a full-desktop Indigo install by doing:

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-libg2o ros-indigo-cv-bridge liblapack-dev libblas-dev freeglut3-dev libqglviewer-dev libsuitesparse-dev libx11-dev ros-indigo-usb-cam
mkdir ~/git/myproject ~/git/myproject/src
cd ~/git/myproject/src
catkin_init_workspace
git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/ethzasl_ptam.git ethzasl_ptam
cd ..
catkin_make

and it compiled without error.

If you're really intend on using Groovy, I suggest making sure you have necessary package for whatever provides that header file. It looks like it's probably something in RQT so you could try:

sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-rqt*

and then re-running the above steps.

I've tried upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04, but I receive an error message, "Unable to calculate upgrade". So, I'm stuck using Groovy and 12.04. I tried reinstalling rqt, but I get the same error messages....

You likely have some non-standard packages that Ubuntu's upgrade script can't handle. I ran into a similar error. I recommend uninstalling all existing ros-groovy packages and then disabling all non-standard repos in your /etc/apt/sources.list. Once the upgrade is complete, then re-add the ROS repo.

Uninstalling ros seems to have cleared up whatever issues were preventing me from installing 14.04, so I'm upgrading now.

So I install 14.04, it had some issues with the graphics card. I was getting strange errors and none of the icons would show up on the desktop. I sort of fixed these issues; I can get the the terminal with ctrl+alt+f3 and operate from there. Though I still can't operate from the desktop.

I installed Indigo, but when I run catkin_make I get a message saying it doesn't exist. When I try to reinstall catkin I get a message saying it is already the newest version.

Running dpkg -S /opt/ros/indigo/bin/catkin_make shows the package is ros-indigo-catkin. If that's installed, it should be there. I can't imagine why it wouldn't be. Try reinstalling it with sudo apt-get install --reinstall ros-indigo-catkin.

Also, what brand of graphics card do you have? I had similar issues with Nvidia that I was able to sort out, but it took a lot of trial and error. Do you get to the login screen, or does even that not load?

I can try the catkin reinstall next time I'm at work. Today has been such a headache I may not go in tomorrow.
