I have used catkin_make successfully in the past but now whenever i try to use catkin_make i get the following error( as you can see i just created this directory named "delete", but catkin_make is still not working (with this directory or any other directory newly or previously created)):

asaad@VAIO:~$ mkdir -p ~/delete/src

i think catkin_init_workspace failed, create everything new, perhaps with another name?

i created a new directory named "del" and the same error occurred.

Asaad Irfan,

I am actually receiving the same error. Did you ever resolve it?

Thank you for any help you are able to give, as well as your time and attention to this matter. Have a great rest of the week.

Very Respectfully, CMobley7

Instead of catkin_init_workspace n you should use simply:

catkin_init_workspace

See: http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/...

There should be a package.xml in src folder, if you could find it there then you may not be running the catkin_make in workspace root directory or the file may be broken... If you could not find package.xml then your workspace is not properly initialized, try initializing again. It may be possible that there is a problem with catkin_create_workspace, refreshing ROS could be solution.

Asaad Irfan,

Thanks for the reply. In my case, this error appeared to be caused by a missing or corrupted file in catkin. So, instead of uninstalling ROS completely, we removed and reinstall catkin. After which, everything worked as expected.

Very Respectfully, CMobley7
