Hi @MPR I can’t see the issue but if it’s different. Let’s start a new question and if you are ok accept the answe

Both respeak and sound_play are Catkin packages. In addition, sound_play has been released for Melodic (see status_page/ros_melodic_default.html?q=sound_pl) and should be available via apt for installation.

Also note: rosdep install X will only install the dependencies of X, it will not install X itself.

@osilva: why do you recommend to build sound_play from source, and why do you recommend to use rosmake to do so? Catkin packages cannot be built using rosmake.

Hi @gvdhoorn the reason I recommended this is as you can see in the repo those are the actions taken for the same error

There is one comment by one commenter on one issue.

Without any explanation as to why that should resolve the issues.

True. There is not much on the subject and it’s hard to reproduce

Asked by osilva on 2021-10-31 08:21:49 UTC

It's possible the OP has only cloned the respeak repository into his/her workspace, built it and then expects it to work. If the dependencies are not present (such as sound_play), things will not work.

But until we have more information, this is all speculation.
