I'm trying to compile a new package with catkin_make_isolated but after visibly successful installation my I receive roscore and catkin_make, etc command not found. My only option is to reload from an earlier backup to restore my ROS.

The steps I'm following:

1. Installing roscopter on Hydro from here: ( https://github.com/epsilonorion/rosco... )
   1. I place the roscore source in the /src library
   2. compile mavlink with sudo python setup.py install

2. Run catkin_make:

   catkin_make_isolated --pkg <my_package_name> --install
   

3. Roscore is still working until I don't restart, after that command not found

The .bashrc does refer to the install_isolated/setup.bash, still no roscore or catkin_make, etc

I'm trying to compile ROS on a Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) following these Debian installation instructions and got to the point to compile ROS, which fails at compiling opencv with undefined reference to 'header':

[ 97%] Built target opencv_videostab
[ 98%] Built target opencv_haartraining_engine
Linking CXX executable ../../bin/opencv_createsamples
../../lib/libopencv_highgui.so.2.4.6: undefined reference to `header'

make: *** [all] Error 2
<== Failed to process package 'opencv2': 
  Command '/home/ilagi/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/env.sh make -j1 -l1' returned non-zero exit status 2

I googled to try to figure out what header file might be missing, but unfortunately didn't get anywhere.

I hope somebody will have an idea about at least the directions to go from here.

Thanks

I'm sorry, but I had the same issue and ROS_IP was set properly, it didn't make a difference. What made a difference is the /etc/hosts file on the remote PC having the hostname and ip of the master PC.

I had the same issue. All ROS_IP, ROS_MASTER_URI settings were fine, I did see the topics but when subscribed no message came through. It was because the node running roscore had a hostname and that hostname was not added to the /etc/host file or the remote PC. I have added the hostname and the topics immediately started to show their data on the remote PC.

Sorry, not in front on my computer, but I believe uvc_camera uses camera1394, where you can set brightness, see details at (look for brightness under parameters section): http://wiki.ros.org/camera1394

If you are not sure how to use parameters, the best to use a launch file. Example http://answers.ros.org/question/9786/...

Thanks, that helped - see my own answer below.

Just managed to solve the issue after @jbinney asking me to add message() to the cmakelists file. As soon as I have added that the compile did run through fine. It looks the issue was that the first time when I tried to compile camera_info_manager then some of the prerequisites were missing, so I went and installed them including camera_calibration_parsers and came back to re-try

catkin_make_isolated --pkg camera_info_manager --install

but the error was still there like camera_calibration_parsers wouldn't be installed. As soon as I modified the cmakelists file the compile did find it. So the issue simply was that the dependencies are not listing camera_calibration_parsers, so when it gets added you need to trigger the recreation of the make file. Blah.

You should download it from git https://github.com/ktossell/libuvc_ros.git into your src folder and then from the catkin folder run catkin_make_isolated --pkg libuvc_camer --install

I'm compiling camera_info_manager on Ubuntu 13.10 (armhf) and receiving undefined reference to camera_calibration_parsers::readCalibration.

See details below:

What is funny that I remember that I had the same issue when I was compiling for Raspberry Pi and resolved it somehow, but it seems I can't remember how.

Any idea is appreciated.

Edit: camera_calibration_parses package is installed, that was the first thing I checked Edit2: just realized that last time I raised a ticket in github against camera_info_manager, but then the issue got resolved on its own, so I just reopen the ticket. See make verbose output on the link: https://github.com/ros-perception/ima...

Thanks, I have copied the launch file to ~/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/share/uvc_camera/ and now it works. Thanks!

Thanks, I filed the bug. Do you know where can I manually place the .launch files for to find it until the CMakeLists.txt's bug doesn't get resolved?

I have installed uvc_camera package by running:

~/ros_catkin_ws/src $ git clone git://github.com/ktossell/camera_umd.git 
~/ros_catkin_ws $ catkin_make_isolated --pkg camera_umd --install

Everything went fine, no errors. But when I'm trying to launch a launch file from this package it says it cannot find it:

~/ros_catkin_ws $ ls /dev/video*
/dev/video0  /dev/video1
~/ros_catkin_ws $ roslaunch uvc_camera stereo_node.launch
[stereo_node.launch] is neither a launch file in package [uvc_camera] nor is [uvc_camera] a launch file name

The stereo_node.launch is still in the src folder:

~/ros_catkin_ws $ sudo find / -name stereo_node.launch
~/ros_catkin_ws/src/camera_umd/uvc_camera/launch/stereo_node.launch

Is it normal that after installation the .launch file is still in the /src folder? If no, then would this be an installation issue? If yes, then why roslaunch cannot find it?
