Problems Building from Source [closed]

edit

Hello everyone! I'm trying to build Jade from source, and I have run into a problem, likely python related. It builds several packages successfully, then fails at python_orocos_kdl:

<== Finished processing package [37 of 223]: 'pr2_description'

<== Failed to process package 'python_orocos_kdl': 
  Command '['/opt/ros/jade/env.sh', 'make', '-j8', '-l8']' returned non-zero exit status 2

Reproduce this error by running:
==> cd /home/allenh1/catkin_ws/build_isolated/python_orocos_kdl && /opt/ros/jade/env.sh make -j8 -l8

Command failed, exiting.

I am building with the following command.

$ sudo PYTHONPATH="/opt/ros/jade/lib64/python3.3/site-packages/" ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install --install-space /opt/ros/jade -DSETUPTOOLS_DEB_LAYOUT=OFF

No packages can build, for some reason, unless I explicitly add the PYTHONPATH variable as seen above. Any suggestions as to how I can get this working?

Thanks in advance.

Update: I have roscore up and running!

I was even able to build something I wrote in Qt for controlling a robot.

But I cannot do anything else until I get the rest to build... I'm creating a Gentoo install guide for Jade.
