2013-01-08 03:46:02 -0500	answered a question	catkin setup.sh overwrites PATH environment variable? Ahhh... I figured out what I was doing wrong. I had initially gone deeper into the documentation (as suggested) here: www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/Overlays The process it explains was causing my failure: $ mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src $ rosws init --catkin ~/catkin_ws/src /opt/ros/groovy $ cd ~/catkin_ws $ catkin_init_workspace $ catkin_make $ source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash Even if I ensure /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash was installed previously. To get back on track in the tutorial, I deleted the ~/catkin_ws directory, re-sourced /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash and just did the basic tutorial steps of: $ mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src $ cd ~/catkin_ws $ catkin_make $ source devel/setup.bash

2013-01-07 20:36:18 -0500	asked a question	catkin setup.sh overwrites PATH environment variable? I am following the groovy installation and tutorial. I source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash in my .bashrc. I then set up catkin workspace and run catkin_make. The resulting devel/setup.bash, when sourced, eliminates the /opt/ros/groovy/bin reference that was in my PATH environment variable... meaning I can not continue with the tutorial which is about rospack. Should the catkin workspace setup.sh be overwriting the PATH environment variable like this? The catkin manual says it should respect already-sourced script like /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash, but it doesn't seem to be doing that.
