I've downloaded the ROS Base and some other ROS packages.

Also, I've followed the doc http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installat... to install them.

Now I need to check which dependencies (so file) are used for each ROS package.

Is it possible?

Do this:

rospack depends [name of package]

An alternative to rospack depends is rqt_dep which visualizes the connections like so:

The documentation for rqt_dep seems to be non-existent, but thankfully it is a simple interface so you can figure out what most options do through trial-and-error.

Tip: If you are using rqt_dep to show the dependencies for a package, make sure you source the workspace that contains that package first. Otherwise, when you type in your package name, nothing will show up.
