Getting started with octomap_mapping
Hello,
I am trying to learn how to use ROS and the octomapserver package. I am currently running ROS Jade, and have tried launching octomapserver several times, getting the following error:
ERROR: cannot launch node of type [octomapserver/octomapservernode]: octomapserver
ROS path [0]=/opt/ros/jade/share/ros
ROS path [1]=/home/dso/catkin_ws/src
ROS path [2]=/opt/ros/jade/share
ROS path [3]=/opt/ros/jade/stacks
No processes to monitor
shutting down processing monitor...
... shutting down processing monitor complete
I believe this may be due to the fact that octomapserver is not yet supported for Jade? I have also tried to download octomapmapping for Indigo using "sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-octomap ros-indigo-octomap-mapping", but I get the error message:
E: Unable to locate package ros-indigo-octomap
E: Unable to locate package ros-indigo-octomap-mapping
Am I trying to install this the correct way? And also, will I be able to run octomap_server for Indigo on Jade or will I need to use ROS Indigo instead?
Thanks in advance for the help!

If octomap_server is not supported by Jade yet, then clearly that is the problem: you do not have the package installed. You can try to clone the repo in your catkin workspace and try to compile it.
If you are using Jade, just do not try to install Indigo packages.
