Hi,

I was going through this tutorial : http://wiki.ros.org/rviz/Tutorials/Ma...

I went step by step through the tutorial. Everything went well until i tried executing the command: catkin_make

It gives me error:

The specified base path "/home/rajesh/using_markers" contains a package but "catkin_make" must be invoked in the root of workspace

I don't know how to fix this error before proceeding with the tutorial. I appreciate any help.

Thanks and regards.

You should go through this tutorial ( http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials ) to learn how to use workspaces and packages.

Do the following:

Goto your workspace,

$ cd "your workspace path"

So,

$ ls

You will see something as

build devel src

Now execute your command-line: "$ catkin_make"

$ catkin_make

Your error occur because you are not in the workspace directory, you can see the folder in this command

$ echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

If the folder not exists, you can create,

$ mkdir ~/catkin_ws/src

Copy your folder to ~/catkin_ws/src
