The above command is at step 4 here
Then i get this error Message:

#q208679 has the same error message, they were able to debug it with additional catkin output and contents of the package CMakeLists.txt
Please update your question with the entire terminal output. There isn't enough information to figure out what's going on here.
Can you post your
package.xmlandCMakeLists.txt?i've updated the terminal output, pls check it out
please check the package.xml and CMakeLists.text
Can you please copy and paste those files again using the preformatted text (
101010) button? The current formatting makes the contents of those files are unreadable. And please remove any comments to shorten the length of them too.i have done that
It looks the same
i reposted the question while trying to effect the change you suggested but its still the same, maybe there is something i'm not getting. i'm new here. what else can i do
See #q270918 for how to use the preformatted text button
it says the page has been deleted
Sorry, #q270916
ok so i tried the post here but it was not working so i reposted the question and it is better. Please check for it
Please don't create a new question just to format your text. Open your
CMakeLists.txt, copy the text, paste it into the editor here, then highlight the text, then click the preformatted text (101010) button. Then do the same with yourpackage.xmlfile.I've fixed the formatting of the
CMakeLists.txt, but thepackage.xmlis a wall of text.@dayogeorge: please copy-paste your
package.xmlagain into your question, select the text you just pasted, and click on the Preformattext Text button (or usectrl+k).@dayogeorge: how did you install ROS?
std_msgsis part of the core of ROS. It would be really strange for it not to be installed.@dayogeorge may you try one trick because that help for me always , save your CMakeList.txt file first then go to your Src directory delete your CMakeList.txt and then use Catkin_make it will help you
@dayogeorge I removed the comments in your
CMakeLists.txtfile so that it's shorter but yourpackage.xmlfile is still unreadable. Can you please copy and paste it again? This time please make sure that it's readable (properly indented, etc.).thanks guys. Please check the package,xml now. So how should I proceed? I'm still at step 4 on this page: http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Cre...
@dayogeorge How did you install ROS? Like @gvdhoorn said,
std_msgsshould have been installed with ROS.i followed the steps on ros.org what do you suggest i do?
What steps? We don't know what platform you are using.
i'm trying to installing kinetic on ubuntu. Amd i'm following the steps here
Can you tell us the exact command you used to install ROS?
And please link to all tutorials you followed for the installation.
Reason we keep asking about this is that
std_msgsshould definitely be there, and we're trying to make sure it's not an installation issue before checking other things.i used this command:
And it can be foundhere
I basically just followed all the step highlighted in the link above
Ok. Please do this:
source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bashdpkg -l | grep std-msgsrospack find std_msgsls -al /opt/ros/kinetic/share/std_msgsadd the output of the last three commands to your OP (edit it).
Also: what is the output of
which gcc?Please check my edited post for the output of the commands above
That all looks ok. But there is something strange looking at the
catkin_makeoutput that you included in your OP: I don't see any mention of compilers orpthread. Even with an empty workspacecatkin_makeprints lines about that for me.Can you remove any
source ...lines from your ....
.bashrcfile (if you have any), save it, and do the following:mkdir -p $HOME/test_ws/srccd $HOME/test_wssource /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bashcatkin_makethen copy-paste the whole output of
catkin_makeinto your OP.And just making sure: your OS is
Ubuntu 16.04or Ubuntu Xenial, correct?lsb_release -ashowsUbuntu 16.04andxenial?yes my ubuntun is 16.04.3 LTS xenial. pls how do i access the .bashrc file?
It's in your home directory. Something like
gedit $HOME/.bashrcshould open it.Look at the end. If there are lines like
source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bashorsource ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bashremove them. Save, close, follow steps in previous comment.thanks a lot bro. I removed the source and then i ran the commands. check the output of catkin_make in my edited post. Looks like it is done right?
I do not see any update.
Re: new run of
catkin_make: yes, that looks a lot better.Can you now do:
ls -al /home/dayo/catkin_wsls -al /home/dayo/catkin_ws/srcand add the output to your OP?
It's good that things are now ok, but without knowing what caused the problems initially, it's hard to avoid it.
you mean updates in terms of std_msgs?
No I meant that you had posted your comment "I've edited my post", but I did not see an updated post.
pls check for all the outputs
