I'm compiling indigo-ros_core from source on Debian and I'm getting stuck at actionlib_msgs with the following error:

<== Finished processing package [43 of 63]: 'std_msgs'

==> Processing catkin package: 'actionlib_msgs'

  depends on.  Did you forget to specify generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES ...)?

  Cannot locate message [Header] in package [std_msgs] with paths
  [['/home/crunchex/uproot/iso_catkin_ws/devel_isolated/std_msgs/share/std_msgs/cmake/../msg']]

At this point, I've already finished processing std_msgs, which is where the Header message is defined. So I'm not really sure why it would be failing at this point. Anyone have a clue?

Not a solution, just a fyi: there is a packaging effort for Debian underway at DebianScience/Robotics/ROS. Might save you some time/trouble.

Found a workaround to the problem, but I think there is still some sort of bug in the actionlib_msgs dependencies.

Since my original command, part of the official Debian Indigo installation process, is this:

sudo ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release --install-space /opt/ros/indigo

The packages that were built successfully up to the point where actionlib_msgs fails, will make it into /opt/ros/indigo. If I source that workspace and try the same command again, then the build will work fine (63/63). Not sure why this is.

Update : turned out to be a permissions thing. This answer pointed me in the right direction: http://answers.ros.org/question/59178...

This bug is annoying. I spend quite a bit time trying to solve it but I the easiest way to solve it finally was to add a symbolic link of the std_msg folder in the devel isolated space. I mean:

$ ln -s src/std_msgs/msg devel/std_msgs/share/std_msgs/cmake/../msg

Not too much pretty but at least it worked.

this work, thnx from this ~/ros_catkin_ws/src/common_msgs/ to [['~/ros_catkin_ws/devel_isolated/std_msgs/share/std_msgs/cmake/../msg']]

for sudo catkin_make_isolated --install ln -s ... 5-6 times result: Finished processing package [204 of 204]: 'xacro'
