I don't understand catkin_make. I want to install ROS and move to robot.

Install finished. How to install

http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installat...

I referred to it. http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Ins...

3.Create a ROS Workspace

Fail at the beginning of Chapter 3 create and build a catkin workspace:

Please,show me how to good idea

environment Ubuntu16.0.4 windows10 Hyper-V

Make sure that you have installed "catkin_pkg", it is up to date and on the PYTHONPATH.

The problem is most likely this:

-- Using PYTHON_EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/python3

ROS Python packages (or really: Debian/Ubuntu Python packages) are only installed for the default system-provided Python interpreter, which would be Python 2 on Ubuntu Xenial.

As Catkin (or really: CMake) detects Python 3 as the default interpreter, and catkin_pkg is not installed for that version, you get the error message you show.

You'll need to either install catkin_pkg for Python 3 (sudo apt install python3-catkin-pkg) or make the default system-interpreter Python 2 again or override which version of Python Catkin/CMake uses by setting -DPYTHON_VERSION=3.5 when invoking catkin_make.

If you require further information or assistance, I'd recommend searching this forum for Python 3 related problems with Catkin (or any of the ROS 1 packages) as there have been quite a nr of posts about that (use Google: no module named site:answers.ros.org).

Thank you,answered !! Does that mean writing the override code before writing the error code?

I don't know what you mean by that.

@gvdhoom could you expand or point to documentation that details how the "default interpreter" is defined? Does this mean simply what "python" resolves to in your terminal?

topherbuckley ( 2021-05-10 02:42:29 -0500 )edit

The default interpreter would be whatever your OS vendor and/or Linux/Ubuntu distribution has configured as the default version.

Linux distributions typically list the versions of important parts of the OS in the release notes, or on their support forum. You'll have to try and find that for whichever OS you're using.

Does this mean simply what "python" resolves to in your terminal?

no, not necessarily.

On Ubuntu for instance it's possible to use update-alternatives to change whatever the default is. So relying on the output of which (which I believe you're referring to) is not going to be robust.

(note: do not try to use update-alternatives to switch from Python 2 to Python 3, or the other way around. That will most likely not work. Overriding the default Python interpreter on Debian/Ubuntu with an Anaconda install will most likely also not work)
