Hi,

While trying to execute any of the tools, rosrun exits with an error: [rosrun] Couldn't find executable named <NAME> below /opt/ros/indigo/share/<PACKAGE_NAME>

It seems that the python-based tools are installed to /opt/ros/indigo/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (which is not part of the standard ROS_PACKAGE_PATH environment variable, so rosrun won't look there by default):

$ find /opt/ros/indigo -name check_delay.py -follow
/opt/ros/indigo/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bag_tools/check_delay.py
$ find /opt/ros/indigo -name launchViz.py -follow
/opt/ros/indigo/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/launch_tools/launchViz.py

This could be worked around in several ways, but the problem is that the binary tools (e.g. tf_logger) are not present at all. The only solution to get all srv_tools is to compile from source in which case, the tools are installed at the right locations in catkin workspace.

Thanks for reporting @kynad, we'll work on this. For now, please download and compile the repo as another catkin package. If you know how to correct it, PR and we'll merge it.
