Hi all,

I am trying to follow this tutorial https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Tutori... for ROS 2.0 Eloquent on Mac OS Catalina. This fails after entering the colcon build --symlink-install command and I get this error message:

user@users-MBP ros2_example_ws % sudo colcon build --symlink-install

After looking at this again I have found that I needed to add source ~/ros2_eloquent/ros2-osx/setup.bash to the .bashrcfile. This was explained in the instruction at https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Instal... but I've misunderstood something and thought I needed to use the .zshrc rather than .bashrc on OSX Catalina, which has proved not to be the case.

Thanks for helping to solve this!

glad you found the correct fix! You should be able to mark your own answer as correct (so that this issue can be considered closed)

May not qualify as an answer but these errors usually happen when the environment is not set up properly.

Did you follow the previous steps of the tutorial? Especially the "Source an underlay" section, if you install eloquent from binaries it should look similar to https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Instal...

Also it is surprising that you have to run colcon with sudo. Does it fail differently if you build without sudo?

Thanks for the reply! I believe I followed the "Source an underlay" section, but it is possible that I've made a mistake. Here's the contents of my .zshrc file:

export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1
source ~/ros2_eloquent/ros2-osx/setup.zsh

Does this look like it's got any obvious errors in it? I run colcon with sudo because it just gives me a permission denied error otherwise. Do you think this gives any clues?
