Problem with navigation

edit

Hello!

I am new to ROS, so please bear with me. I am going through navigation tutorials of ROS listed here.

When I launch the amcl.demo file I get the following error continuously:

[WARN] [1454762481.036046933, 3051.340000000]: Timed out waiting for transform from base_link to map to become available before running costmap, tf error: . canTransform returned after 0.1 timeout was 0.1.

Due to this, the 2D pose Estimate and 2D nav goal don't work in Rviz. The Exploration, Static map, Global Costmap, Local Costmap show an error in Rviz.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks!

EDIT 1: Here is the summary of the terminal:
