Hi, after battling to get ROS working, i chose to work with gmapping so i downloaded the gmapping package and the openslam_gmapping_master packages (after reading a lot of posts, it seems like to be needed). Now i can't launch the gmapping as i get thisspace@space-HP-ProBook:~$ rosrun gmapping slam_gmapping scan:=base_scan [rospack] Error: package 'gmapping' not found

i tried to rebuild my catkin file as a results of feedback on forum but then i get this error

-- +++ processing catkin package: 'gmapping'

Seems like openslam_gmapping is missing.

Did you try sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-openslam-gmapping ?

Hi Akif,

thank you for your replay

it seems like the openslam_gmapping is already installed. when i use roscd on gmapping and slamgmapping ros seems to be aware about the files. but i still get the

[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named slam_gmapping below /opt/ros/indigo/share/gmapping

Any clue on what the problem!!??

Thanks
