source won't change the package path
Hi, I'm trying to run the pcl tutorial, since i need it for an university project.
Unfortunately when I try to run the exaple
arnold@arnold-UX31E:~/catkin_ws$ rosrun my_pcl_tutorial example input:=/camera/depth/points
I get the error back:
[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named example below /home/arnold/catkin_ws/src/my_pcl_tutorial
The executable crated with catkin_make is in the build folder, not in src (this seams to be correct).
But rosrun trys to run it from the src folder. A little research came to the conclusion that it isn't sourced right.
When I run
arnold@arnold-UX31E:~/catkin_ws$ source devel/setup.sh I get no response (no error or approval) and nothing changes.
I already deleted the workspace 3 times and just followed the instructions from this Tutorials. http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/... and http://wiki.ros.org/pcl/Tutorials

That is expected, as it only updates your environment variables.
Please post the output of
echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATHand tell us how you created your workspace.And the exact order in which you
source,catkin_makeandrosrunthings.And just noticed this:
if you are using
bashas your shell, you should use thesetup.bashfile, not thesetup.sh.Ok, I'm going to edit the exact order and results into the first post. I created the workspace how it was shown in the catkin create_a_workspace tutorial.
Can you first try to
source devel/setup.bash? It might be that is all you did 'wrong'.posted my log as picture in the first post.
Please don't use images for what is essentially text - you can just copy-paste from a terminal into your question text.
As to the output: I don't see any CMake output indicating that it's building any executable binaries. Can you include the
CMakeLists.txtof the pkg you created?Thats because the pkg was already build. If i delete the build folder and rerun
catkin_make. It returns another text where it build a hack of more stuff. I'm wondering because the last last lineLinking CXX executable exampleis red for me. I can't upload a file because i don't have 5 karma.
