[ros-users] serial_port package failing to compile

[Blaise Gassend]

As some other poster pointed out, serial_ports is in /opt/ros/cturtle,
so it is normal that permission is denied. The question is: why is it
trying to build it there? Did you install serial_port from a .deb, or
did you put it there yourself?

If you put it there yourself, was that the right thing to do (do you
intend for it to be made available to all users)? If yes, then build
the package as root, and put a ROS_NOBUILD in the package's directory.
If no, then put it somewhere in your home directory and add it to your
package path.
