Could not find a package configuration file provided by "geometry_msgs"

[yihuanliao]

Hi, I am new to this developing things. I am following the guide documentations. But I have met some errors when proceeding to "catkin_make"

Here is the error which I encountered:

CMake Error at /usr/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:75 (find_package): Could not find a package configuration file provided by "geometry_msgs"

Can anyone please help me? Many thanks

Can you give the detailed procedure how you installed ROS? Did you follow this link? http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installation/Ubuntu

Most users install ROS under /opt/ros instead of /usr. Also, install ros-kinetic-desktop-full if possible.

[yihuanliao]

Yes, I have done so, but I still have this problem, seems like there are some files missing.

Can anyone please help me with that? (I know this feels like a stupid question, but I am really new to SDK development) Many thanks

Hi @yihuanliao , @zliDJI , @amenonDJI,

I am facing the same issue while trying to execute the command catkin_make on Raspberry Pi , which is running Raspbian.

I followed the instructions from the below link for installing ROS kinetic on Raspberry Pi. http://wiki.ros.org/ROSberryPi/Installing%20ROS%20Kinetic%20on%20the%20Raspberry%20Pi

I tried executing the below command as mentioned in [mavlink/mavros#539],(https://github.com/mavlink/mavros/issues/539)

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-geometry-msgs

However, I get the below error.

Please guide me.

Thanks, Abhishek

Try

sudo apt install ros-kinetic-geometry-msgs

This might work.

It has been a long time, I couldn’t remember whether I solved this problem.

Best regards, Yihuan

I met the same error,i've tried to download the geometry package,but it didn't work.So i watch carefully about the error reminder，i find it is because i made a spell mistake when i use"catkin_create_pkg test_pkg depend1 depend2"to create a ros package.So my suggestion is to check the find_pkg from your CmakeList.txt

I met this problem when I tried to install rosserial package on Raspbian (buster) I tried

• sudo install ros-kinetic-desktop-full but It doesn't work
• Also sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-geometry-msgs the same problem Package not found
• then I tried ros-geometry-msgs. package was installed but when I tried to reinstall rosserial geometry-msgs was again not founded

so I decide to install it manually I clone this repository inside the src on my catkin's workspace

I restart the building (with catkin_make) and restart the installation of rosserial IT WORK!!!

I met this problem. and check my CMankelist.txt. In "find_package" take place "geometry-msg" with ’"geometry_msg". It ismaybe a sign mistake.
