Hi,
Can you tell me the default ROS_PACKAGE_PATH please?
Also, is the faulty ROS_PACKAGE_PATH the reason why I continue receiving the error "No arguments could be parsed into valid package or stack names" while I'm trying to install the joy package?
Thank you!
Soe

ROS_PACKAGE_PATH is documented on the wiki here
The first few beginner tutorials walk you through how to manage your path.

There is no specific 'default ROS_PACKAGE_PATH'. It would depend on your distribution and method of installing ROS. On my ubuntu machine, it is /opt/ros/diamondback/stacks
You might try running 'locate setup.bash' (or zsh) to find your ros installation if you do not know where it it. Sourcing that file ('source setup.bash') should set the appropriate package path for that ros installation.

sorry for the confusion, I've removed setup.bash from gazebo in trunk. They will not be there in the next release.

Does it also have /opt/ros/diamondback/setup.bash? That file should be there, I'd think (the gazebo one isn't too important). The arguments can't be parsed part could be because your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH is set wrong, or because you've got the install command wrong. What command are you running?

Hi Murph,
Thanks for the suggestion.
When I tried "locate setup.bash", it returns "/opt/ros/diamondback/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/setup.bash". Is it working correctly?
Also, can you also explain me on the second part of the previous question: Why do it keep stating "No arguments could be parsed into valid package or stack names" while I'm trying to install the joy package?
