Adding RPLIDAR_ROS as package dependency.

Hi all,

I'm trying to catkin_make a new package, with the rplidar_ros package as a dependency. However, when I run catkin_make, I get the following error:

CMake Error at /opt/ros/indigo/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:75 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "rplidar_ros/" with
  any of the following names:

    rplidar_ros/Config.cmake
    rplidar_ros/-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "rplidar_ros/" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "rplidar_ros/_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "rplidar_ros/" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
  has been installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  ugv_2dnav/CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package)

System info: Ubuntu 14.04, ROS Indigo, rplidar_ros version 1.01

The rplidar_ros package was successfully cloned and catkin_make-d before I attempted to create this new package. I'm stumped! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers! Jack

Where did you clone the rplidar package from? Was it the cob_substitute repo listed on the ROS wiki rplidar_ros page, or was it from robopeak? I cloned from the robopeak repo and never had any issues.

My apologies for the delay in response! I cloned robopeak's repo. Again, I could run their demo just fine; problems only arose when trying to make a package with rplidar+ros as a dependency. The problem was resolved by Akif, but thanks for your help!

Seems like there is an error with package name. "rplidar_ros/" should be "rplidar_ros" (note the trailing slash). Maybe you have a typo.

Yes, this was the problem! A silly mistake :. Thanks for your help!
