Installing Hector_Navigation and Ceres_Catkin
Hi! I am trying to create a robot car that can autonomously drive using RPLidar A1 and Hector Slam. I have installed both packages and read that people are using the hector_navigation package to have their robot car autonomously drive to a destination goal. (https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-p...)
I tried to clone the hector_navigation repository (noetic devel) but got an error when I did the catkin_make command. The error was that I was missing the cere_catkin package. I was able to find the ceres_catkin package at this link: https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-p....
I once again clone this repository and use the catkin_make command. However, I got another error stating that I was missing the simple_catkin package. I was able to find the simple_catkin package at this link: https://github.com/catkin/catkin_simple.
Again, I clone this repository and used catkin_make command. This time, everything looked like it worked! So I went back and clone the ceres_catkin repository and used catkin_make command. However, I ran into another error during the process. The error was:
Invoking "make -j2 -l2" failed
Could anyone please help me to figure out how to get the hector_navigation package? I feel like I am currently in a goose chase. Thank you!!!
In case anyone needs the full code from my terminal here it is:
