Hi, In this link http://www.ros.org/wiki/roboearth i try to install roboearth packages re_comm ,re_kinect_object_detector,....etc in my fuerte

i begin by typing command :

sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall

it begin ti install normally then i begin typing command :

$ rosinstall ~/ros /opt/ros/fuerte 'http://www.ros.org/wiki/roboearth?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=roboearth.rosinstall'

it appear

rosinstall operating on /home/salma/ros from specifications in rosinstall files  /opt/ros/fuerte, http://www.ros.org/wiki/roboearth?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=roboearth.rosinstall

Now, type 'source /home/salma/ros/setup.bash' to set up your environment.

salma if you check the errors, you do not have git installed (probably bzr is also not installed)

You need to run

source ~/ros/setup.bash

in the same terminal before running rosmake roboearth. It is not clear whether you did so. If this still fails, paste the result of

echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

into your question, please.

it doesn't work

the result of echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH is : /opt/ros/fuerte/share:/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks

This indicates that sourcing setup.bash did not work correctly. Did you get any error messages, either in the rosinstall command or when executing the source command?

now when i write $ source ~/ros/setup.bash bash: /home/salma/ros/setup.bash: No such file or directory

i found : bash: /home/salma/ros/setup.bash: No such file or directory

Did the rosinstall command throw an errror?

Lorenz gravatar image Lorenz  ( 2012-10-12 05:17:08 -0500 )edit

no and stack installed but in Home

salma gravatar image salma  ( 2012-10-12 05:19:45 -0500 )edit

Can you please edit your original question and add the exact output of the command? See http://ros.org/wiki/Support Something seems to be messed up in your system and we need to find out what. Also, what's the output of ls ~/ros?

ok i did :)

salma gravatar image salma  ( 2012-10-12 05:42:57 -0500 )edit

I cannot see the output of ls ~/ros.

Going off of combined info from this question...

Perhaps the rosinstall documentation might help. You can install roboearth wherever you want to, but you specified ~/ros as the destination in your command. In the installation instructions you're following, the next line after the code box specifies what the paths are so you can change them if you want. You can also type 'rosinstall -h' to see the rosinstall help info.

The program wasn't quite done on the second picture you posted on the other question. But if it ran without errors, it should have created a setup.bash file for roboearth somewhere. You need to find that file and source it. It should be in ~/ros but maybe it's in a different directory like ~/ros/stacks or ~/ros/stacks/roboearth

If there were errors when rosinstall-ing roboearth, please edit this question to include them now that rosinstall is installed so we can be of more help.

@tbh After i intalled roboearth and what was said in the installation instructions, every time i open a terminal before i could write anything y get bash: /bin/sed: Argument list too long bash: /bin/sed: Argument list too long bash: /usr/bin/env: Argument list too long after a while i found out it was due to the .bashrc file because when it run source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash it got stuck. Now my ROS does not work, when i put echo $ROS_PACKAGE-PATH i dont get the path i get a blank space and can call anything related to ROS. Do you know why this happens and what is wrong with the setup.bash file, thanks really apreciate it

Hi @ctguell. Ros Answers is more of a question/answer site for specific questions than a forum on general topics. So you did right in asking [your question](http://answers.ros.org/question/75001/problems-after-installing-roboearth/) in a new thread rather than here.
