Fuerte - kdl_conversions package missing
I recently downloaded the latest arm_navigation (from https://kforge.ros.org/armnavigation/armnavigation) for my recent Fuerte install. However when I attempt to build the arm_kinematics_constraint_aware package, I get the following error.
arm_navigation/arm_kinematics_constraint_aware/src/kdl_arm_kinematics_plugin.cpp:35:37: fatal error: kdl_conversions/kdl_msg.h: No such file or directory
I double checked and there is indeed no kdl_conversions package in my ROS_PACKAGE_PATH (let alone in geometry, where I expected it to be).
So I downloaded the geometry package (from hg https://kforge.ros.org/geometry/geometry) and make the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH reference it instead. However, I can't build it because it uses catkin (I tried to go through the tutorials, but I couldn't get it to work). Is there any way to get a regular version of geometry that uses rosmake for Fuerte? Or some way to get arm_navigation working without kdl_conversions?
I also ran
sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-arm-navigation --fix-missing
for the heck of it, but it didn't fix my problem.
Why do you want the latest version of arm navigation?
The arm_navigation package I was using was from electric, I wanted one compatible with Fuerte after I upgraded.
'sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-arm-navigation' will get you the latest version of arm_navigation that was released for fuerte.
