Error: The current devel space layout following install guide

[lida2003]

Hi

I'm following 9 steps in installation guide, it popup an error in step 8.

I have to run catkin clean to clean all step 3. Is this normal?

Error: The current devel space layout, `linked`, is incompatible with the configured layout, `merged`.

and finally got

Hi @lida2003 ,

The layout of the devel spaces is unrelated to the project. We generally recommend using a merged devel layout, this is why it is added to the instructions if you're creating a new workspace. If you change the layout of the devel space then you always have to clean the existing builds. SC-Explorer should build and run just fine also in a linked devel space.

Hope this helps!

@Schmluk Thanks for the info.

I figured out there are some package missing during ros installation, as I didn't usd full installation.

It still get following warnings, maybe not a big issue for running the program. Is it mean that I can't see version info?
