Ubuntu:14.04 ROS:indigo I am using robot_pose_ekf package and am getting this error:

CMake Error at /opt/ros/indigo/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:75 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by
  "controller_manager" with any of the following names:

    controller_managerConfig.cmake
    controller_manager-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "controller_manager" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or
  set "controller_manager_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above
  files.  If "controller_manager" provides a separate development package or
  SDK, be sure it has been installed..
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  husky_robot-indigo-devel/husky_base/CMakeLists.txt:4 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

i know the obvious answer would be to install that package but i already tried that then it shows same error with some other name and so on...i compiled the same package on another pc it compiled without any problems and these packages were not there in that pc too......can any one give solution....I tried reinstalling ros and also reinstalling entire ubuntu none worked

PS:not only with robot_pose_ekf i am getting same error with other packages also like husky_base etc.....Hoping for a solution asap Thanks in advance :)

Just to get it out of the way: do you need to compile from source? Recommended pkg installation on Ubuntu is sudo apt-get install ros-.., not cloning the repository and catkin_make-ing. There are situations in which from-source is the only option, but not for normal usage.

Also: we don't know what OS, version, version of ROS, etc.

i am using ubuntu 14.04 and ros indigo i would prefer a general solution and by the way installing sudo apt-get helped with this package thanks......but i need to edit the source code so it would be better if a solution for the error is available

This is most likely simply a dependency issue: you cannot clone a single package and then expect to be able to build it without also making sure to have all its dependencies present. ROS has a tool for that rosdep. See Installing package from source in Indigo for one answer (there are many more) that shows how to use it.

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro indigo this command is giving this error : ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies: simplelist: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [Header] here header is missing config file

sir i dont think this is not simple dependency issues i wrote a msg file today with variable header in it and it is showing headercofig is missing......

Did you remember to source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash OR /path/to/your/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash (if it exists) before running the rosdep install .. command? Please add some info on how you installed ROS: which tutorial did you follow, workspace setup, etc.

Also: copy/paste the contents (add it to your original question) of package.xml and CMakeLists.txt of the pkg that you wrote that "is showing headercofig is missing.....". Do not include all the boilerplate comments in CMakeLists.txt please.

thanks for the answer header config was not a package my bad other dependency errors were solved with that command....
