Unable to install ros_lib into Arduino IDE: rosserial_client (missing dependency)

[chrisspen]

I'm trying to follow the tutorial for installing ROS into the Arduino IDE.

I installed the binary packages with:

 sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rosserial-arduino ros-indigo-rosserial ros-indigo-rosserial-client

but when I run the command to copy the files into the Arduino libraries folders with:

 rosrun rosserial_arduino make_libraries.py .

it partially fails with the error:

Exporting to .

    rosserial_client (missing dependency)

How do I fix my install so rosserial_client can be used?

What package provides "angles" and is it an apt or pip package? There does exist an "angles" package in pypi, but installing this seems to have no effect.

[mikepurvis]

Hmm, angles is this package (which you could install on Ubuntu with sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-angles), but it's not listed as a dependency of rosserial_client, so I'm confused by why that would be an issue.

[chrisspen]

Yes, installing that package fixed the error, so it seems that package is somehow being listed as a dependency in indigo.
