[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Next Generation ROS] Cannot run executable and lib using ros2 run after building using ament

[Arunava Nag]

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 Beta 2.
This is my simple package: https://github.com/arunavanag591/test_ros2

When I try this 
`ros2 topic pub /test_topic std_msgs/String "hello"`

It throws me this:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/home/artc/ros2_ws/install/bin/ros2", line 9, in <module>
        load_entry_point('ros2cli==0.0.0', 'console_scripts', 'ros2')()
