catkin_make error on cmake

[aaryswastaken]

Hi,
I bought a neato xv-11 last year and I now have time to interrest me on. So I tried some python scripts in order to make preliminary tests. And now I decided to implement it in ROS and on catkin_make I have troubles in the cmake with the ros-sensor-message :

So I tried an sudo apt install ros-sensor-msgs and it didn't work.

I had a lot of troubles while Installing ROS because I'm on mint 19. I had installed ROS on a ubuntu last year and I had no troubles while playing with this type of message

Hope you can help me

ROS packages are usually installed as ros-$DISTRO-$PACKAGE, like: ros-kinetic-sensor-msgs or ros-melodic-sensor-msgs HTH, 'dillo

You say you had "a lot of troubles", perhaps ROS isn't really installed? Did you complete the ROS installation?
http://wiki.ros.org/melodic/Installation/Ubuntu

The TL;DR version is:

sudo apt install -y ros-melodic-desktop-full
sudo sh -c "rosdep init"
rosdep update
source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash
sudo apt install -y python-rosinstall python-rosinstall-generator python-wstool build-essential

Then for this source

mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
catkin_init_workspace
cd ~/catkin_ws/
catkin_make
source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
rospack profile
git clone https://github.com/chrisl8/xv_11_laser_driver.git
cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make
source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
rospack profile

Sorry to just repeat the basic instructions, but I thought it might help.

I think I'm gonna give up ...
The problem was that when I followed the steps, and there was "iterative unsolvable dependencies", when I run
sudo apt install ros-kinetic-desktop-full
I had 3 unmet dependencies. I think I have tried everything and nothing worked so I don't remember what I did but I managed to install the package called ros-desktop-full which worked correctly (for the fast testable things like rviz, roscore and some test commands.

Now when I tried this node, the catkin compilation gets some troubles about the sensor-msgs package, so with a apt-cache, I searched to package and the only thing I found was ros-sensor-msgs, with no ros package specified (like when I installated the destop full) and the problem is the same ...

[aaryswastaken]

Maybe reinstalling the os for ubuntu will fix the problem but if I can't do it, it can be better ...

[jetdillo]

Hmmmm...I also did an apt-cache search and got similar results, but then I also looked at what packages I already have installed and got this: (base) armadilo@yutyrannus:~$ dpkg --list|grep sensor-msgs ii ros-melodic-sensor-msgs 1.12.7-0bionic.20190320.161153 amd64 This package defines messages for commonly used sensors, including cameras and scanning laser rangefinders. ii ros-melodic-tf2-sensor-msgs 0.6.5-0bionic.20190808.195434 amd64 Small lib to transform sensor_msgs with tf. (base) armadilo@yutyrannus:~$ So it looks like there are multiple packages you need to install. Also be aware that running: source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash and source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash may yield different enough environments that the build might break(although it really shouldn't..). If you're encountering multiple unresolvable dependencies, it might be better to do a clean re-install of the whole OS and then layer a *-desktop-full install overtop right after the OS install finishes.
