Hi everyone, I'm new to ROS and currently using indigo on 14.04 LTS. I have a package called myrobot_description,with launch and urdf folder in it. i am trying to launch a .launch file to display a urdf model in rviz,but facing this problem after i cd into the launch folder and run roslaunch display.launch

edmond@edmond:~/rosws/src/myrobot_description/launch$ roslaunch display.launch
