Hi guys,

Thanks for reading my question.

I'm attempting to install ROS on Ubuntu 12.04 on a Pandaboard ES REV B.

I've followed the manual here to install from source.

At the moment, I am at step 3.1.3 Building the Catkin Workspace. I run the command

$ sudo ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install-space /opt/ros/groovy

from my directory:

$ /opt/ros/groovy/ros_catkin_ws 


pandaboardalpha@pandaboardalpha:/opt/ros/groovy/ros_catkin_ws$ sudo ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated  --install-space /opt/ros/groovy

I just wondered if anyone else had this error. The bfl package actually installs properly, since I found it in /opt/ros/groovy/ros_catkin_ws/build_isolated.

I guess the problem is in the generation of "env.sh", but I don't know enough about it to know.

The end goal is to install openni on the board an interface with the Kinect, so if there's a simpler better way to go about it, I'm all ears!

Thank you for reading this far!!!

Best, Nathan

ok, the bug is actually in catkin 0.5.63, we're about to release a fix I think.

Also follow this issue maybe, in case you get the same problem: https://github.com/ros/catkin/issues/374

YES - I have 'build' and 'devel' folders appear also. Will run more tests and update soon. Thanks!

I replaced the catkin that wstool had downloaded with the git clone:

$ cd ros_catkin_ws/src/
$ rm -rf catkin
$ git clone https://github.com/ros/catkin.git
$ cd ../
$ ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DSETUPTOOLS_DEB_LAYOUT=OFF

It's running now. Didn't get hung on bfl
