Problem with installation

[amermelao]

hi there,

I'm using ros hydro and after I install the package (using a catking ws and catkin_make, because rosmake doesn't find the package) and tried to run it, it does not apear to be installed. Should I use ros groovy instead? The way i'm doing it is wrong? Any suggestions?

Unfortunately there isn't enough information here for me to help you. I need to know things like:

• What operating system are you using?
• If you are using Ubuntu, did you try installing it from the debian sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-openslam-gmapping?
• When installing from source where did you install it to?
• Did you source the setup.bash file which was created in the place you installed it to before trying to run it?
• What are you try to run and why is it failing?
• What leads you to think it is not installed?

• I'm using ubuntu 13.04.
• I'm traing to install this source-code beacuase I want to do some modification to the code.
• I asume that it was install to the place by default.
• I didn't source the setup.bash
• I try to run : rosrun openslam(or gmapping or something whit slam, i try all the posibilities) , and with the second argument i couldn't start the rosnode to do slam.
• There are some part that were install, but i think i missed something because ii couldn't start the node.

@amermelao you will have to source the resulting setup.bash (or setup.zsh) file before the nodes and launch files installed by openslam_gmapping are usable. Are you able to rosrun things once you source the setup file?

The setup files will be located in the installation directory, if you are using a catkin_workspace, then it will be the install folder at the root of the workspace.

i source the setup.bash and it worked, thanks.
