hi

i am getting error below when i am trying to rosmake rviz

[rosbuild] Building package rviz
[rosbuild] Cached build flags older than manifests; calling rospack to get flags
Failed to invoke /opt/ros/fuerte/bin/rospack cflags-only-I;--deps-only rviz
Package sensor_msgs was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sensor_msgs.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'sensor_msgs' found

CMake Error at /opt/ros/fuerte/share/ros/core/rosbuild/public.cmake:129 (message):

It is complaining that sensor_msgs.pc is not in PKG_CONFIG_PATH However, the sensor_msgs.pc is in the config path when i check it.

:~/fuerte_workspace$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/opt/ros/fuerte/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/ros/fuerte/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/ros/fuerte/lib/pkgconfig

:~/fuerte_workspace$ find /opt/ros/fuerte/lib/pkgconfig | grep 
sensor/opt/ros/fuerte/lib/pkgconfig/sensor_msgs.pc

Does anyone encounter this issue before? Thanks

Looks like you are sourcing /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.sh three times. That might cause problems. But, @Lorenz is right: just install ros-fuerte-visualization.

Why are you building rviz from source? Just install the debian package:

sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-visualization

I had the same problem, but was due to move a package of "Electric" to "Fuerte". A new node that wanted to build, needed some libraries from other nodes. To do this, these nodes had to export some flags in its manifest.xml specified include path or/and lib path. In the main node cmakelist just had to make a standard target_link_libraries.

<export>
<cpp cflags="-I${prefix}/include" lflags="-L${prefix}/lib -Wl,-rpath,${prefix}/lib -lros -lname_your_libraries_that_you_like_export_to_other_nodes"/>
</ export>

I am trying to follow the rviz user guide rosdep install rviz rosmake rviz.

However, i add a step my self getting the stack in my workspace. So, sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-visualization didnt works as i got a rviz in my workspace. I fix it by removing rviz from my workspace and .rosinstall
