So I followed the instructions to create a ROS environment as per this page:

http://wiki.ros.org/ROSberryPi/Installing%20ROS%20Kinetic%20on%20the%20Raspberry%20Pi

I used the following to increase the swap size before completing the instructions above:

https://wpitchoune.net/tricks/raspberry_pi3_increase_swap_size.html

The hardware is a Raspberry Pi 3. I have installed the Raspbian buster OS. The installation appeared to be successful. The compiler was changed to gcc-5 when building.

My ROS setup is the following:

ROS_VERSION=1
ROS_PYTHON_VERSION=2
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/opt/ros/kinetic/share
ROSLISP_PACKAGE_DIRECTORIES=
ROS_ETC_DIR=/opt/ros/kinetic/etc/ros
ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311
ROS_HOSTNAME=localhost
ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros/kinetic/share/ros
ROS_DISTRO=kinetic

The error returned in the terminal is the following which repeats endlessly till I kill it:

Not sure what to do or how to fix the problem
