hello all,

part of the .zshrc file as following:

source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.zsh
source /home/adminyin/catkin_ws/devel/setup.zsh
source /home/adminyin/rosws/devel/setup.zsh

when source .zshrc at terminal, it does nothing

only source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.zsh or other .zsh file manually can take effect

could someone tell me what's wrong about this?

It was occured when I use qtcreator open my ROS package, but failed at the CMake execution step

Yes. By default, setup.* files will overwrite the environment set by the previous one you sourced.
