Hello,

I created a workspace/src containing both the packages moveit_tutorials and panda_moveit_config, as explained here http://docs.ros.org/kinetic/api/movei... ...

However when I catkin build I get this error:

CMake Error at /opt/ros/kinetic/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:83 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by
"moveit_visual_tools" with any of the following names:

moveit_visual_toolsConfig.cmake
moveit_visual_tools-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "moveit_visual_tools" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
or set "moveit_visual_tools_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above
files.  If "moveit_visual_tools" provides a separate development package or
SDK, be sure it has been installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:13 (find_package)

How to resolve it please? regards

It may be obvious to you, but can you please tell us why you want to build MoveIt from sources on Kinetic? There are binary pkgs available that make all of this a non-issue.

Hi! @fer Did you solve it? I have met the same error when I built moveit from source.

Hello,

It is stated that you don't have the package moveit_visual_tools installed. You can install it via:

sudo apt-get install ros-$ROS_DISTRO-moveit-visual-tools

You can find more info about the package in Github repository.

Also, make sure you install all workspace dependencies before build:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
