Unable to install libcaer #110

Closed BonJovi1 closed 4 years ago

BonJovi1 commented 4 years ago

Hi, Thank you for the wonderful ROS DVS packages! I'm using ROS Kinetic on Ubuntu 16.04.7. libusb is installed, but I'm unable to install libcaer. According to the latest readme, I'm running, 

sudo apt-get install libcaer-dev

But I get an error saying,

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libcaer-dev

I looked up the official iniVation documentation for installing libcaer. it asked me to do two extra steps:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inivation-ppa/inivation
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install libcaer-dev

I did this too, but it still gives the same error. Could you kindly advise me on what might be going wrong? Thank you, Abhinav

Please check the iniVation instructions again, for Ubuntu Xenial there is limited, separate support. Reading further "For Ubuntu Xenial (16.04 LTS), we offer a separate PPA repository supporting the x86_64 and x86 architectures.", instructions are available then on how to install this.

Only adding one PPA repository is not enough and it still gives the same error. But after I add all the four PPA repositories from the iniVation instructions, it works!

Please see the Ubuntu Xenial instructions (last paragraph) here: https://inivation.gitlab.io/dv/dv-docs/docs/getting-started/#ubuntu-linux Please also note that support for Xenial is discontinued and will receive no more updates.
