ros beginner tutorials problem

edit

Hi,

I have the same problem with groovy distribution. I have first wrote:

$source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash

and then:

$rospack depends1 beginner_tutorials

the result is:

Error: no such package beginner_tutorials

The solution for my distrubution of ros is the same?

Try this : $ source devel/setup.bash It worked for me. (You should have a catkin workspace already created and your package must be inside the workspace)

Hi everyone, I just ran into this problem and found it was my own stupidity and not reading CAREFULLY the tutorial instructions.

I have the distro indigo (found by "echo $ROS_DISTRO").

So I thought I followed the tutorial and I missed the one step... BEFORE you call:

catkin_create_pkg beginner_tutorials std_msgs rospy roscpp

Make sure you are in the ~/catkin_ws/src directory. <- that's the step I missed.

I called catkin_create_pkg from the ~/catkin_ws directory. WRONG... it's looking for it in the src directory.

Anyway, hope this helps someone else...

maybe you should run the roscore first

You need to source the appropriate setup.bash in your shell.

you need to source your workspace's(i.e-catkin_ws) setup.bash file first

$ . ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash

then do what you were doing

$ roscd beginner_tutorial

I got the same problem and tried all suggested solutions but didn't help. So I created package not in catkin_ws/src but catkin_ws directory and it worked. I'm not very good at Linux, but I think problem is about defining home path while creating ros workspace.
