Perhaps the package is not added as dependency. Check in the /home/user/catkin_ws/src/project1/manifest.xml file -- you should have there a line like

<depend package="sound_play"/>

@trinighost I am working in groovy, it seems like CvBridge.h is deprecated in this version and I was able to get rid of the error by using cv_bridge/cv_bridge.h. Of course, now I have other errors, but perhaps you will have more luck!

I can confirm I am getting the same error when writing an image subscriber like in this tutorial: http://www.ros.org/wiki/image_transport/Tutorials/SubscribingToImages

@ROS-freak Yeah, that sounds logical enough.

You're right, re-running it several times seems to get rid of the problem! I still don't understand why the problem occurred in the first place, however :D

I cannot get rviz to start. I did

rosdep install rviz
rosmake rviz

They both run fine; when I run

rosrun rviz rviz

I get the following error (it tries 100x and gives me the same error that many times):

rviz::RenderSystem: error creating render window: std::exception
Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

My system: Ubuntu 12.10 32b, GeForce GT 630M, ROS Groovy.

I am going to update this post with other info as described in http://www.ros.org/wiki/rviz/Troubleshooting#How_to_make_a_usable_bug_report, unless someone recognizes this problem right away.

EDIT: Following the instructions in this answer http://answers.ros.org/question/10588/rviz-does-not-start-prints-glxunsupportedprivaterequest/?answer=15671#post-id-15671 got rid of the previous errors, now the rviz window opens up for a second and then crashes. I am getting:

EDIT 2: Same as before, tried it a couple more times, now rviz window appears. No idea why.

I am trying to run roswtf as described at the end of the http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Tutorials/Getting%20started%20with%20roswtf (beginner tutorial), but it complains about roscpp not having a manifest file:

What could be the cause of this?

My configuration: Ubuntu 12.10 32b, ROS Groovy

@r0nald Thanks! It's good to know it's not necessary. I was afraid some tools would kick the bucket because they missed this var.

@IsaacSaito Yep, I was following the github ticket and saw the fix...thanks a lot for your help!

Even after executing this command, the $ROS_WORKSPACE is not set. I'm using Groovy under Ubuntu 12.10 32b. Any ideas why this happens?

@r0nald Have you found out why $ROS_WORKSPACE was not set? I have the same problem (Groovy, Ubuntu 12.10 32b)

@IsaacSaito: Thanks a lot for your assistance! In the meantime I think I'll upgrade Ubuntu to Quantal and see if I can make some progress with that config.

@IsaacSaito As far as I can recall, it gives me a segfault even for existing ros packages, but I'll try again to make sure. I have no other custom packages -- this happened while creating my first package as part of the beginner tutorial!

@IsaacSaito Sorry, Linux noob-ish user here...the Windows debug landscape is different :D Posted what is hopefully complete debug trace now.

@IsaacSaito I've posted my trace, seems like a python module gets stuck while detecting my Nvidia gfx card. Still not clear what to do.

@IsaacSaito I will post the trace when I get home today, thanks!
