CSM Package Not Found

asked 2016-03-18 10:32:20 -0500

Hi,

I've got an issue compiling laser_scan_matcher. When running catkin_make I get the following error:

-- checking for module 'csm' -- package 'csm' not found Cmake error

Now I've built csm and installed it. What else do I need to do to get catkin to find it?

Thanks

Mark

How did you install the csm package?

My base ROS workspace is ~/ros_ws/src Installed csm src into ~/ros_ws/src/csm and ran install_quickstart.sh which successfully compiled it all and "installed" it

That installed it to: ~/ros_ws/src/csm/deploy

What operating system are you using?

Did you source ~/ros_ws/src/csm/deploy/setup.bash?

This is on a raspberry pi (hence the building everything) re: source - there is no ~/ros_ws/src/csm/deploy/setup.bash file

It looks like laser_scan_matcher uses pkg-config to find the csm headers and libraries.

You probably need to set the $PKG_CONFIG_PATH in your environment, adding the directory containing the csm.pc file installed with csm.

Cheers sir that has done the trick!! (Now it can't find csm header files - shall try and persuade it otherwise :) )

That should have resolved both header and library locations. What does pkg-config --cflags csm print?

joq gravatar image joq  ( 2016-03-21 09:23:04 -0500 )edit

Comes back with -I/usr/include/cairo -I/home/pi/ros_ws/install/include

MarkyMark2012 gravatar image MarkyMark2012  ( 2016-03-21 09:57:25 -0500 )edit

Seems OK. Are the headers in fact there?

joq gravatar image joq  ( 2016-03-21 12:22:16 -0500 )edit

Just gotten around to checking this - so you were correct - the headers weren't there. Simply copied them into that dir and it's all complied! I now have - after some faff - LSM running on a Pi 2. Shall write all this up as a how-to...

MarkyMark2012 gravatar image MarkyMark2012  ( 2016-03-21 14:57:25 -0500 )edit

Copying the headers should not have been necessary. The csm install should have created a csm.pc that points to the right place. If you write this up, try to figure out what when wrong with that.

After installation (and exporting the pkg-config to $PKG_CONFIG_PATH), and checking the headers are installed where they should be, I try to catkin_make_isolated but failed to process package csm, no env.sh generated at /home/pi/ros_catkin_ws/devel_isolated/csm/env.sh

full command is ros_catkin_ws $ sudo ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install-space /opt/ros/indigo -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release --force-cmake. I think it's somehow interpreting csm as a package.

EDIT: I added --install to the command and it seems to have passed the make :/

Good day to all. I have repeatedly faced with this problem: installation laser_scan_matcher for ROS kinetic. To solve this problem on three different machines, and finally I decided to write an algorithm that helped me. Probably, it is not very correct, as I replace the relative path to the libraries in the absolute, but nevertheless it - it works for me.

Now the algorithm itself. In the future, I mean that the package is the full path to my catkin_ws is: /home/edward/catkin_ws

Algorithm

1.first install the package csm itself in directory /catkin_ws/src: git clone https://github.com/AndreaCensi/csm.git and package scan_tools: git clone https://github.com/ccny-ros-pkg/scan_...

2.in /catkin_ws do catkin_make

3.open: nano ~/.bashrc and add to end of file as a variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH tssm.pk path to the file. In my case, this line looks like this:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/pkg-config and make: source ~/.bashrc

4.Next, you must explicitly register in five file path to the header files:

  1. in file /home/edward/catkin_ws/src/scan_tools/laser_scan_matcher/include/laser_scan_matcher/laser_scan_matcher.h replace #include '<'csm/csm_all.h'>' on #include '<'/home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/csm/csm_all.h'> (without apostrophes, of course)
  2. in file /home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/csm/laser_data_json.h replace json-c/json.h and json-c/json_more_utils.h on /home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/lib/json-c/json.h and home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/lib/json-c/json_more_utils.h respectively
  3. in file /home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/csm/hsm/hsm_interface.h replace options/options.h on /home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/lib/options/options.h
  4. on file /home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/csm/json_journal.h replace json-c/json.h and json-c/json_more_utils.h on /home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/lib/json-c/json.h and /home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/lib/json-c/json_more_utils.h respectivetly
  5. Lastly, in file /home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/csm/math_utils_gsl.h replace egsl/egsl.h on /home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/lib/egsl/egsl.h

5.Finally, go to your /catkin_ws and do catkin_make

And, wow miracle - all gathered! I hope this spike curve method will help you :) Happy ROS.

You can also add thoes path to ~/.bashrc, like this: export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH:/home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm/lib:/home/edward/catkin_ws/src/csm/sm

Maintainers of scan_tools and csm are stuck at some problem in making a release of them. If anyone can help that's great!

130s gravatar image 130s  ( 2017-03-12 10:00:55 -0500 )edit

I got an error saying "Could not find a package configuration file provided by "csm" with any of the following names: csmConfig.cmake csm-config.cmake " I thought the catkin could not find the package so I went ahead and followed your solution but doesn't seem to fix it. Any suggestion?

Since recently the installation from the repository has been made correctly. At least for the kinetics. I do not have any problems with CSM anymore. Just enter in the terminal

sudo apt install ros-kinetic-navigation

if you have ros kinetic distro
