Hi all,
I would appreciate it if someone can guide me on how to install eband_local_planner for use with move_base on Hydro because every approach that I have tried so far, has failed.
Thanks
I installed eband_local_planner by using the following commands:
rosws set eband_local_planner https://github.com/utexas-bwi/eband_local_planner --git
rosws eband_local_planner
roscd eband_local_planner
rosmake
Running the command rospack plugins --attrib=plugin nav_core shows eband_local_planner loaded as a plugin but the eband_local_planner is installed in /home/powerbot67/ros/eband_local_planner/elp_plugin.xml while the rest of the plugins are installed in /opt/ros/hydro/share. Could this be a problem?
powerbot67@powerbot67-desktop:~$ printenv | grep ROS
ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros/hydro/share/ros
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/powerbot67/ros/sbpl_lattice_planner:/home/powerbot67/ros/eband_local_planner:/home/powerbot67/hydro/sandbox:/opt/ros:/opt/ros/hydro/share:/opt/ros/hydro/stacks
ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311
ROS_WORKSPACE=/home/powerbot67/ros
ROSLISP_PACKAGE_DIRECTORIES=
ROS_DISTRO=hydro
ROS_ETC_DIR=/opt/ros/hydro/etc/ros
I changed the move_base.launch file to use eband_local planner as follows:
<arg name="base_local_planner" default="eband_local_planner/EBandPlannerROS"/>
However, when I run move_base, I get the following error:
[FATAL] [1455878479.341080841]: Failed to create the eband_local_planner/EBandPlannerROS planner, are you sure it is properly registered and that the containing library is built? Exception: Could not find library corresponding to plugin eband_local_planner/EBandPlannerROS. Make sure the plugin description XML file has the correct name of the library and that the library actually exists. [move_base-1] process has died [pid 5295, exit code 1, cmd /opt/ros/hydro/lib/move_base/move_base cmd_vel:=/RosAria/cmd_vel __name:=move_base __log:=/home/powerbot67/.ros/log/e58dae7e-d6f1-11e5-a32e-00026f87bbb1/move_base-1.log]. log file: /home/powerbot67/.ros/log/e58dae7e-d6f1-11e5-a32e-00026f87bbb1/move_base-1*.log
Also, running roswtf gives the following:
ERROR Not all paths in ROS_PACKAGE_PATH [/home/powerbot67/ros/sbpl_lattice_planner:/home/powerbot67/ros/eband_local_planner:/home/powerbot67/hydro/sandbox:/opt/ros:/opt/ros/hydro/share:/opt/ros/hydro/stacks] point to an existing directory:
* /home/powerbot67/ros/sbpl_lattice_planner
What should I do to solve this?
Thanks

ROS version is Hydro

it looks like eband_local_planner is a catkin package. Why are you trying to build it with rosmake?

I am not sure when to use rosmake but your answer to my other question installed eband_local_planner successfully. Thanks
