Hello, I am a beginner at ROS and I was doing the following tutorial : http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Wri... .

I did exactly what the tutorial instructed me to do (copy - pasted the code in use) and then tried to build my project with catkin_make .I also checked the directories of the package and everything was in accordance to the tutorial's instructions .I also sourced every environmental variable needed .I am in 14.04 Ubuntu LTS (dual install with windows) .

However, I got the following errors :

/opt/ros/jade/include/ros/time.h:180:31:   required from here
/usr/include/boost/format/feed_args.hpp:248:84: error: no matching function for call to ‘boost::io::too_many_args::too_many_args(int&, int&)’

This output just shows that there is an error, but not which one. Scroll up in the terminal and please post the real error message.

What OS are you on? What version of boost do you have installed on your system?

@patrchri we typically don't close questions on ROS answers. If you figured this out, maybe you could answer your own question, so others can find this solution?

@mig I need more points to reopen the question so I will answer it here .I apologize for closing it without posting the solution, but it was not something major .Due to character's limitations the answer is posted at my next comment .

The error was generated because of bad mistyping of the "ros/ros.h" inclusion .This happened because at start I attempted to write the code and then copy pasted the rest of the code .The strange part is that the terminal didn't indicate me the error at the file.cpp .Thanks again for your answers .

The error was generated because of bad mistyping of the #include "ros/ros.h" statement .This happened because at start I attempted to write the code on my own, but then I decided to copy paste the rest of the code .This wrong copy paste led to a ros.h" statement instead of the proper inclusion as written above .The strange part is that the terminal didn't indicate me the error at the file.cpp as a syntax error ,as there was no #include statement .

Thanks again for your answers .

The wrong syntax was like that :

ros.h"
#include "std_msgs/String.h"

#include <sstream>

(The rest of the code in talker.cpp)
