Hi,
I'm trying to work through the URDF examples in the Wiki. This requires installing the urdf_tools stack, which I haven't found in any of the ...rosinstall files under http://www.ros.org/rosinstalls/, so I wrote my own install file, looking like this:
[bjoern at toennchen ROS]$ cat urdf_tools.rosinstall
- svn:
local-name: urdf_tools
uri: https://wu-ros-pkg.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wu-ros-pkg/stacks/urdf_tools/trunk
When I try to install this, it fetches the package from SVN, only to give me this error:
ERROR: No ROS_ROOT defined. The 'ros' stack is required in all rosinstall directories. [...]
...but ROS_ROOT is defined:
[bjoern at toennchen ROS]$ echo $ROS_ROOT
/home/bjoern/ROS/ros
Since it can't find ROS_ROOT, it doesn't add the package in $ROS_ROOT/.rosinstall. This is probably the reason why roslaunch can't find it so I can't run any of the examples. Can anyone help me?
Damn, ROS is complicated...
Thanks in advance & Regards,
Björn
