Hello.

I first must apologize as I am very new to ROS. I am doing a summer dissertation project, and I need to get this working as fast as possible. Thank you all in advance for your help.

I have installed the ROS-indigo package for Ubuntu 14.04 from http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installati... . I then tried to follow the tutorial for the Prosilica GigE camera installation from here: http://wiki.ros.org/prosilica_camera/... .

However, when I try to ListCameras, or Ping, I get the same message for both commands:

[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named Ping below /opt/ros/indigo/share/prosilica_gige_sdk

[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named ListCameras below /opt/ros/indigo/share/prosilica_gige_sdk

I have tried to reinstall the packages using rosmake and apt-get as per this page's suggestion: http://answers.ros.org/question/18203...

And I am nowhere...

Thank you for your quick reply. (I was not able to get back to the lab until today.)

Unfortunately, the rest of the tutorial fails. The computer is unable to see the camera, though bash is able to ping the camera's ip address. What can I do?

Have you tried downloading the PvAPI binaries from AVT? There's a newer prosilica driver available; are you sure the old PvAPI driver supports your camera?

The newest driver that I can find is at http://1stvision.com/AVT-gige-camera-... .

Surely the Indigo stuff as at least as up to date as 2011?

Yes; the prosilica_gige_sdk is a repackaging of the 1.26 version of the PvAPI binaries that you've linked to. There's also a newer driver based on the AVT Vimbra SDK: http://wiki.ros.org/avt_vimba_camera
