Narasimhan, It seems you don't have necessary file permissions in teleop_base directory, the error is related to rosmake attempting to create a directory called "build" but failing to do that. If you give yourself (your linux user account) write access to the teleop_base directory this should go away. Hope this helps, Alper Aydemir, KTH CVAP On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 5:27 AM, Narasimhan Rajagopal wrote: > in this > tutorial http://www.ros.org/wiki/simulator_stage/Tutorials/SimulatingOneRobot > we need to install teleop_base. > > i've installed teleop_base and can navigate to teleop_base package by "roscd > teleop_base" > but when i run "rosmake teleop_base" it gives the following error(only > displaying the last few lines of the terminal) > > rosmake ] [ 32 of 34  Completed ] > [rosmake-2] >>> control_toolbox >>> [ make ] > [rosmake-2] <<< control_toolbox <<< ROS_NOBUILD in package control_toolbox > > [ rosmake ] [ 33 of 34  Completed ] > [rosmake-2] >>> teleop_base >>> [ make ] > [ rosmake ] All 2 lines > {------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >   mkdir: cannot create directory `build': Permission denied > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------} > [ rosmake ] Output from build of package teleop_base written to: > [ rosmake ] > /home/narasimhan/.ros/rosmake/rosmake_output-20100616-084940/teleop_base/build_output.log > [rosmake-2] <<< teleop_base <<< [FAIL] [ 0.03 seconds ] > [ rosmake ] Halting due to failure in package teleop_base. > [ rosmake ] Waiting for other threads to complete. > [ rosmake ] Summary output to directory > [ rosmake ] /home/narasimhan/.ros/rosmake/rosmake_output-20100616-084940 > > > > _______________________________________________ > ros-users mailing list > ros-users@code.ros.org > https://code.ros.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-users > >
