Errors while using catkin_make in ROS inside Raspbian Stretch

I have installed ROS Kinetic (ROS-Comm: (recommended) ROS package, build, and communication libraries. No GUI tools.) in Raspbian Stretch.

I have already built and run few ROS packages on Ubuntu successfully on my Robot. Now I need to migrate those packages to Raspbian Stretch based ROS. The ROS that I installed in Ubuntu is Melodic. So I might be getting some compatibility issues as I am running ROS Kinetic in Raspbian Stretch. So while I am using the

catkin_make_isolated --force-cmake

command, I constantly get errors like "Failed to process the package" for different packages like geometric_shapes, move_base_msgs, robot_pose_ekf and the list goes on. I think one of the reason might be that I have installed ROS-Comm that has no GUI Tools, but if that is the case then I do not know how to figure it out whether any particular package is linked to GUI or not.

As I am just a beginner, I am giving the names of the packages that are failing to be processed:

  1. geometric_shapes
  2. navigation
  3. navigation_msgs
  4. robot_pose_ekf
  5. rosserial

I am eagerly seeking some reference to work on ROS with Raspberry Pi, but I could not find any. If anyone can help me, I would be grateful.

Edit: Ok. I tried just copying the Packages (without compilation) to Raspberry Pi and compile them, but the errors remain. For example currently I am getting the following error text while processing the pacakge "tf2_msgs" during compilation:

I constantly get errors like "Failed to process the package"

this is too vague.

Also, what does this mean:

Now I need to migrate those packages to Raspbian Stretch based ROS.

exactly? Do you just want to build the same pkgs on your rpi, or are you attempting to copy compiled pkgs from your desktop pc to your rpi?

I am attempting to copy compiled pkgs from desktop PC to RPi.

I am attempting to copy compiled pkgs from desktop PC to RPi.

then that is part of your problem.

You cannot do that.

Your PC and your RPi use different CPU architectures (most likely amd64 vs ARM). Binary artefacts cannot be copied. You'll have to compile them on the RPi or use a ..

.. cross-compiler on your PC.

Above error means that geometry_msgs package probably is not installed or it cannot be found. Does rospack find geometry_msgs return path to package? If no you will need to install it before you can build your other packages.

Ohh. Very True. I have have not installed the packages. Actually, when I installed ROS-Melodic in Ubuntu (PC), I got the packages as it was a full install.

But in Raspbian Stretch, I have installed the recommended ROS-Comm: which is an ROS package that has build, and communication libraries and No GUI tools.

@gvdhoorn : Thank you for sharing #q252478. I followed the execution steps to install geometry2 package, but I am getting the following error:


pi@raspberrypi:~/catkin_ws $ rosdep install --from-paths src/ --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic

ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies: tf2_geometry_msgs: No definition of [orocos_kdl] for OS [debian] tf2_bullet: No definition of [geometry_msgs] for OS [debian] tf2_sensor_msgs: No definition of [geometry_msgs] for OS [debian] tf2_eigen: No definition of [geometry_msgs] for OS [debian] test_tf2: No definition of [tf] for OS [debian] tf2_ros: No definition of [geometry_msgs] for OS [debian] tf2: No definition of [geometry_msgs] for OS [debian] tf2_msgs: No definition of [geometry_msgs] for OS [debian] tf2_kdl: No definition of [orocos_kdl] for OS [debian]


So, I think I am running debian based Raspbian Stretch which is creating the issue. But Ubuntu is also based on debian. Still, should I switch to Xubuntu, Ubuntu Mate or Snappy Ubuntu Core? If yes, which one would be the best for ROS?

The Stretch seems not working well with ROS. I am switching to Xubuntu 16.04. Let's see where I end up. Does ROS get installed in Xubuntu the same way as it is installed in Ubuntu Mate?

I have written RaspEx image to Pi 3B+ Memory Card (Reference: https://sourceforge.net/projects/raspex/ ) Now I am trying to install ROS on RaspEx. I am using this link for that: https://www.intorobotics.com/how-to-i... ........

Shaunak Vyas gravatar image Shaunak Vyas  ( 2018-09-25 01:47:14 -0500 )edit

........because I could not find any link that can help me to install ROS on RaspEx. I kindly request to help as soon as possible because I am really stuck up in ROS on Raspberry Pi 3 B+.

Shaunak Vyas gravatar image Shaunak Vyas  ( 2018-09-25 01:48:31 -0500 )edit

I do not know why but Raspberry Pi 3 B+ is turning out to be a headache for me due to its arm64 architecture which do not support the OS in which ROS can be fully functional.

Shaunak Vyas gravatar image Shaunak Vyas  ( 2018-09-25 01:49:06 -0500 )edit

Finally I have successfully installed Xubuntu in Raspberry Pi and it resolved all the issues. The robot is fully functional now. I kindly request to close this ticket.
