 sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-yocs-velocity-smoother

The installation works fine, and the build already passed, but afdterwards get below issue and compilation terminated:

/catkin_ws/src/yujin_ocs/yocs_joyop/src/joyop.cpp:15:38: fatal error: yocs_msgs/JoystickConfig.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I already installed the ros-kinetic-yocs-msgs package.

~/catkin_ws$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-yocs-msgs 
[sudo] password for liangma:

ros-kinetic-yocs-msgs is already the newest version (0.6.3-0xenial-20181107-005535-0800).

Can you tell us why you install yocs_msgs and yocs_velocity_smoother using apt, but then build yocs_joyop from sources?

Answer 1

Sorry I forget detail--later I simply git clone the most update code of ros-kinetic-yocs-msgs from github and do compiling (catkin-make) then it works OK..

Thanks a lot for the feedback anyway.

No, I won't close the question.

Instead I've converted your comment to an answer and accepted it for you.

Note though, as explained in #q322980, you should try to avoid building packages from sources, unless you have a good reason to do it. For released packages, there is no reason to go an hunt for all source repositories and maintaining a Catkin workspace in which you build them. Just use apt-get to install the binary packages.
