I cannot configure the ROS environment
Hi, I am having problem in configuring ROS environment. I have created a package and when i use the rospack find {package name} command it doesn't find it. I sourced the path using
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/saad/jade_workspace/sandbox:/opt/ros/jade/share:/opt/ros/jade/stacks
and paste it in the .bashsrc file at the end, still not helpful. Rospack find command doesn't work.
As i am using rosbuild please anyone help me out here. My path is not properly set.
And please tell me if i am using the ros package command properly.
Edit: I can roscd in my package, but the environment is not set, actually i am unable to know the proper syntax of
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/your/path/to/workspace:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
/your/path/to/workspace what does this explain?
Actually i pasted this in my .bashsrc file few days before and the environment was set permanently, but suddenly it didn't work and i deleted this line from my .bashsrc file, now i am trying to configure it again but don't remember how i managed to do that earlier.
i wrote
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/saad/sandbox/jade_workspace:/opt/ros/jade/share:/opt/ros/jade/stacks
in my .bashsrc file in the last don't know if it is right.
Can you
roscdto your package? Did you source your.bashrcafter adding theexportline? In general, it sounds like you're trying to configure your ROS environment in a very unorthodox way.I would
sourcethesetup.bashfile instead of exporting the environment variable (in.bashrc)@Knowledge: please edit your question if you want to provide us with more information, or use comments.
