Shahmi, <div>You need to add the package which you have checked out into your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH environment variable so that rospack can find it. <a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/EnvironmentVariables">http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/EnvironmentVariables</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I suggest that you try working through the ROS Tutorials at <a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Tutorials">http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Tutorials</a> which explains how to use the core tools. After you have worked through the tutorials downloading an arbitrary package will be much easier. </div>
