Hello,
I am new to ROS and Linux, I am following tutorial on ROS installation, when i run the rospack find roscpp
I get the following respond [rospack] Error: package 'roscpp' not found not sure why?
Make sure, when following the install tutorial, you executed the command
echo "source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
This sets up your shell to always add the correct ROS variables to the Linux environment. You should then be able to use rospack find roscpp correctly. If not, check the output of printenv | grep ROS includes the lines:
ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros/kinetic/share/ros
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/opt/ros/kinetic/share
If the output is correct, but rospack find isn't working, we have another problem.
I dont know whether it is important for you to run this particular command.
However using roscpp your CMakeLists.txt should contain:
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
roscpp
)
And your package.xml should contain:
<build_depend>roscpp</build_depend>
<run_depend>roscpp</run_depend>
After "making" your workspace, you should be able to use roscpp.
