Hi,

I recently tried to install rosserialarduino using this tutorial: http://wiki.ros.org/rosserialarduino/Tutorials/Arduino%20IDE%20Setup but when I run the command:

 rosrun rosserial_arduino make_libraries.py .

Edit: for your ease of reading, here is the error I get:

Exporting to .
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/ros/groovy/share/rosserial_arduino/make_libraries.py", line 88, in <module>

    with open(dst, 'wb') as fdst:

This is the exact error shown here: https://github.com/ros-drivers/rosserial/issues/39 That issue was closed, but it appears I've broken it again. I tried both using both options in step 3.1 in the above tutorial, but when I got to the catkin_make command, I got more errors:

I can open up an example file in Arduino, but when I try to compile, it gives me this:

In file included from /opt/ros/groovy/include/ros/node_handle.h:31:0,
                 from /home/imehrslab/sketchbook/libraries/ros_lib/ros.h:38,

compilation terminated.

I am running Groovy. I'm sort of inexperienced in ROS, so I shared as many errors as I could. I'm pretty sure they all stem from the same problem, but maybe one will shed some light on it. Thanks for the help!
