Move_base launching error

Hi! We made our own move_base package according to the original one and tried to launch it on the PR2. But ros could not find our package. We already set up our ROS PACKAGE PATH to our workspace. The error are following

[c2-0]: ERROR: cannot launch node of type [move_base_3/move_base]: move_base_3
ROS path [0]=/opt/ros/fuerte/share/ros
ROS path [1]=/opt/ros/fuerte/share
ROS path [2]=/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks
[c2-0]: ... done launching nodes

And here is our ros package path messages

/u/jfasola/fuerte_workspace/sandbox:/u/jfasola/fuerte_workspace/sandbox:/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks:/opt/ros/fuerte/share:/opt/ros/fuerte/share/ros

can you post your launch file as well?

I solved that problem. I targeted the node to c2, but it was copied to c1. Thanks!

The launch is failing on c2 because your environment loader is not setting your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH up properly on c2.

Yes, we set the route to c1 because our code were on c1.

c1 and c2 have the same filesystem; anything you do on one machine is also on the other. Your ROS environment variables are not automatically transferred from one to the other when you do a roslaunch; this is why you must set up an environment-loader.

I _STRONGLY_ recommend running move_base on c2, because the laser drivers are on c2, and it will significantly decrease the amount of traffic and latency between servers if move_base and the laser drivers run on the same machine.

Thanks! We will try to do that. By the way, how to specify c1 and c2 when copying codes in pr2?

You can specify which machine a node runs on by using the machine="" property of the <node> tag in your launch file. You do not need to copy anything from c1 to c2.
