OK, found my first error: Using the 2D backpack demo .launch and .lua files instead of creating my own, as described in

tf2 setup for Cartographer-ROS Hi, (This is a conceptual question; no specific code or software version.) I'm trying t

Ok, an enhancement request. But from the user's point of view, it's indistinguishable from a bug; the user said "make"

@gvdhoom: The bug is that there's no clue how to fix this problem; look at all the people who have been stuck on this ov

Sorry. Replied here for the context.

I have this same problem. No clue WHICH packages are "non-catkin". Looks like many other people have had this SAME PRO

I'm trying to get a marker array containing pose info from cartographer_ros. I got the 2D cartographer_ros demo working, and the Subscribe demo working.

I'm now trying to modify the Subscribe demo to get pose messages from cartographer_ros, but the documentation for this is sparse so I'm experimenting.

The error I'm getting is not being able to "link" with cartographer_ros:

-- +++ processing catkin package: 'agitr'
-- ==> add_subdirectory(agitr)
-- Could NOT find cartographer_ros (missing: cartographer_ros_DIR)
-- Could not find the required component 'cartographer_ros'. The
following CMake error indicates that
you either need to install the package
with the same name or change your
environment so that it can be found.

I get this error all the time! What a flaky system! Sourcing setup.bash fixes it SOMETIMES. It's not working now.
