Error when installing collada_urdf #31

Hi there,

I am trying to convert a urdf to .dae by executing the following command:

rosrun collada_urdf urdf_to_collada <myrobot_name>.urdf <myrobot_name>.dae

When I do, I end up with the following error:

[rospack] Error: package 'collada_urdf' not found

I have tried to running rosdep install collada_urdf, that returns the following:

ERROR: Rosdep cannot find all required resources to answer your query Missing resource collada_urdf ROS path [0]=/opt/ros/kinetic/share/ros ROS path [1]=/home/jjustin/catkin_ws/src ROS path [2]=/opt/ros/kinetic/share

So I am running ubuntu 16 inside of VMware, running ROS kinetic and I have compiled openrave from source according to the tutorial found here.

Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sorry for not responding in a timely manner.

What it looks like happened is that you didn't have ros-kinetic-collada-urdf installed on your system, and thus it couldn't find it. You should be able to sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-collada-urdf and then have your rosrun command work.

I'm going to close this out, but feel free to comment more or reopen if you are still having problems.

Yes. Make sure you have ros-melodic-collada-urdf installed on your system.
