problem installing nmea_navsat_driver

edit

Hello, I am having issues installing the nmea_navsat_driver (http://wiki.ros.org/nmea_navsat_driver). I am on ubuntu 20.04, ROS Noetic. Here are the steps I followed when I tried to install it. cd ~/catkin-ws/src git clone https://github.com/ros-drivers/nmea_n... cd .. source devel/setup.bash catkin_make

here I get the following error : Could NOT find catkin_virtualenv (missing: catkin_virtualenv_DIR) -- Could not find the required component 'catkin_virtualenv'. The following CMake error indicates that you either need to install the package with the same name or change your environment so that it can be found. CMake Error at /opt/ros/noetic/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:83 (find_package): Could not find a package configuration file provided by "catkin_virtualenv" With any of the following names: catkin_virtualenvConfig.cmake catkin_virtualenv-config.cmake Add the installation prefix of "catkin_virtualenv" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "catkin_virtualenv_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "catkin_virtualenv" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

So I believe I have to install catkin_virtualenv so I did: git clone https://github.com/locusrobotics/catk...

And now after running catkin_make, I get a different error, the error message is very long but here is the first part:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/user/catkin_ws/devel/lib/catkin_virtualenv/venv_init", line 15, in <module> exec(compile(fh.read(), python_script, 'exec'), context) File "/home/name/catkin_ws/src/catkin_virtualenv/catkin_virtualenv/scripts/venv_init", line 46, in <module> venv.initialize( File "/home/user/catkin_ws/src/catkin_virtualenv/catkin_virtualenv/src/catkin_virtualenv/venv.py", line 65, in initialize raise RuntimeError(error_msg) RuntimeError: Unable to find a system-installed python2. make[2]: [catkin_virtualenv/test_catkin_virtualenv_python2/CMakeFiles/test_catkin_virtualenv_python2_generate_virtualenv.dir/build.make:79: venv/bin/python] Error 1 make[1]: [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:2744: catkin_virtualenv/test_catkin_virtualenv_python2/CMakeFiles/test_catkin_virtualenv_python2_generate_virtualenv.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: ** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

It looks like the error comes from the fact that python is required and not python3, but I am not sure. I hope someone can help me. Thank you very much and let me know if you need more info on the error.
