gazebo ros Packages - fatal error: gazebo/sensors/DepthCameraSensor.hh: No such file or directory

Running kubuntu 12.04 trying to install gazebo ros Packages with groovy

When I run catkin_make I get for :

[ 53%] Generating Lisp code from gazebo_msgs/GetLinkState.srv

Similar to http://answers.gazebosim.org/question/3403/gazebo_ros_pkgs-erro/ However, his solution didn't work for me.

I uninstalled ros-groovy-desktop-full and uninstalled gazebo

Then I installed ros-groovy-desktop (having tried ros-groovy-base and gotten missing dependencies)

Downloaded the mercurial at https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo and installed that as directed and it runs and allows putting models in it.

Finally I cloned: gazeborospkgs roscontrol.git roscontrollers.git controltoolbox.git realtimetools.git into my catkin workspace

When I run:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro groovy -y

I get: ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies:

gazebo_plugins: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [gazebo]
gazebo_ros: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [gazebo]

Finally env might be relevant so:

I'm having the exact same problem. As far as I can tell, gazebo_ros needs to know something about the gazebo installation in order to build, but there is no way to specify this since we built gazebo from source outside of ROS/catkin, etc.

I've managed to get beyond these errors by compiling and installing gazebo to a subdirectory of my home directory rather than the default system directory. I still get the "Cannot locate rosdep definition for [gazebo]" error but catkin_make works for gazebo_ros, I can start gazebo from rosrun, and the correct topics and services appear. Having the correct PKG_CONFIG_PATH, PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH set in .bashrc seems to be necessary for ros to find gazebo properly.

Hi Robert Brockerman, during the catkin_make did you add -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/some/home/folder? After that what did you add in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH, PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH? It would really help if you can post your installation steps as an answer. Thank you!

Found a solution for this problem. My case was that the required sdf header files were inside /user/include/sdf-1.4/ rather than /user/include/sdf/ Just changed the directory name and catkin_make worked successfully (rosdep still cannot locate dependencies but rosrun now launch gazebo with no problems)

Asked by m.guedes on 2013-07-11 05:41:09 UTC

Hi Filius, we're almost done switching over to a Gazebo standalone debian install for gazebo_ros_pkgs. The last issues should be resolved today but I apologize for your installation woes. I'm not sure what the status of your situation is today, but for your initial problem of gazebo_plugins: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [gazebo] did you try rosdep update?

Asked by davetcoleman on 2013-07-11 10:13:56 UTC

Hi m.guedes, where did you make that change? I have the same issue with sdf headers not loading.
