Please update your question with how you installed ROS, which version, which tutorial you followed, how you installed the frontier_exploration package, how you setup your workspace, etc, etc. How do you expect us to help you without that information?

I'm going to assume you followed the normal, binary ROS Jade installation tutorial, and that you git clone-ed frontier_exploration into your catkin workspace.

i dont know why cant it find the file explore_client it is right inside the src folder of the oackage

Have you built your workspace, and then sourced the correct setup.bash?

Please update your original question with the exact steps you took to create your workspace, "took the package", built your workspace and what you did when you tried to start the explore_client node.

i extracted the downloaded package copied it into the catkin_ws/src folder. went to the terminal and did the following things. 1.cd ~/catkin_ws/ 2.catkin_make 3.source devel/setup.sh 4.roslaunch frontier _exploration global_map.launch

and it gave me the error which i have mentioned earlier

Please make sure the explore_client binary is there in catkin_ws/devel/lib/frontier_exploration.
