I download rviz and I did rosmake rviz but it gave me following error when I try rosrun rviz rviz

[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named rviz below /home/mayara/groovy_workspace/sandbox/rviz
[rosrun] Found the following, but they're either not files,
[rosrun] or not executable:
[rosrun]   /home/mayara/groovy_workspace/sandbox/rviz
[rosrun]   /home/mayara/groovy_workspace/sandbox/rviz/src/rviz
[rosrun]   /home/mayara/groovy_workspace/sandbox/rviz/src/python_bindings/rviz

Any idea ? I'm using ROS Groovy

In groovy, rviz uses catkin instead of rosmake, like any decent package does. Follow these steps to build it:

cd /home/mayara/groovy_workspace/sandbox/rviz
source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash
rosrun rviz rviz

The rviz binary will be /home/mayara/groovy_workspace/sandbox/rviz/devel/lib/rviz/rviz

For future readers: there is nothing "indecent" about using rosbuild. In some cases, there is no other option. In others, converting may not make sense yet.

Your path is probably not correct. roscd rviz probably also does not work? If you do echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH you should see: /opt/ros/groovy/share:/opt/ros/groovy/stacks

Do a source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash

roscd rviz works and echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH gave me /home/mayara/groovy_workspace/sandbox:/opt/ros/groovy/share:/opt/ros/groovy/stacks

I fuerte you could do $ rospack profile, $ rospack find . But this does not work anymore in Groovy. Don't know the Groovy equivalent.
