How connect VREP & ROS Kinetic

[Matheus]

Hello,

I´m trying to connect VREP with ROS. I´m following this instructions: https://github.com/LCAS/zoidbot/wiki/VR ... face-Setup

The point is that in the step number six, I have found some of the following issue:

CMake Warning at /opt/ros/kinetic/share/catkin/cmake/catkin_package.cmake:166 (message): catkin_package() DEPENDS on 'nav_msgs' but neither 'nav_msgs_INCLUDE_DIRS' nor 'nav_msgs_LIBRARIES' is defined. Call Stack (most recent call first): /opt/ros/kinetic/share/catkin/cmake/catkin_package.cmake:102 (_catkin_package) CMakeLists.txt:12 (catkin_package)

and I don´t know how to fix it.

Could anyone tell me how to do it?

Thank you,

[fferri]

According to that guide, step 6, it tells you what to do:

Make sure you have those packages installed.

Did you install the nav-msgs package?

First of all, thanks for your reply.

Yes, I had installed all those packages and I could not solve it, so, forgetting that manual. I have tried with this other one: https://github.com/UnbDroid/Festo2018/w ... OS-e-V-Rep

Everything goes right until I execute "catkin build". The issue that I got in this case is the following one:

Code: Select all

I focused on this "Found V-REP version 3.5.0.6 but 3.6.1.4 required." so, I tried the same steps using the last version found on the: http://coppeliarobotics.com/ubuntuVersions.html; but it seems that the last version coincide with version 3.6.1.3 and I don´t know how to resolve this issue.

On the other hand, althought in this manual It says nothing about changing the folder name "vrep_ros_interface", I also did it.

Please, I hope you could find a solution because I really needed to use it.

Thanks in advanced.

V-REP 3.6.1 rev4 has not been released yet.

If you don't want to wait for it to be released, you have two options:

• use an older version of the RosInterface plugin, e.g.: 88b8df0
• build the latest version of V-REP (from the git repositories: v_rep, v_repClientApplication, include, common)

This problem has been fixed.

You can now compile the latest RosInterface plugin with V-REP 3.6.1.rev2 or newer.

Cheers

It worked!

Thanks a lot!
